BMW India is preparing to reveal the i4 electric sedan on April 28, 2022, ahead of its market launch, after the launch of the iX SUV and Cooper SE electric cars. The i4 made its world debut in the middle of last year, and it will be the first major launch in the electric luxury category considering its sedan/coupe body design.
The four-door BMW i4 has the same overall length, breadth, and height as the combustion-engined 3 Series, but it rides on a modified CLAR chassis that has been tweaked to accommodate an electric drivetrain. The exterior shares a lot of similarities with the 4 Series, but it also features several eco-friendly design elements.
