BMW Asia and Performance Motors Limited today announced the availability of the first-ever BMW i4, a four-door gran coupé that combines spaciousness and practicality with the sporting ability for which BMW is renowned. With a range that guarantees long journeys in comfort, BMW brings locally emission-free driving pleasure to the midsize segment for the first time.
“The BMW i4 is finally here to satisfy the growing appetite for more environmentally friendly vehicles in Singapore,” said Lars Nielsen, Managing Director, BMW Group Asia. “Based on a recent survey we conducted in Singapore, 87% of drivers believe owning electric vehicles (EVs) will contribute to a more desirable and environmentally conscious world by reducing carbon emissions. We completely agree and are on track to make this happen with the i4.
With 22% of the respondents expressing interest in purchasing an EV themselves, I am confident our first all-electric gran coupé will quench their thirst as they look to go green.”
The launch of the first-ever BMW i4 brings electric mobility to the heart of the BMW brand. A premium character beyond that of market rivals is reflected in the high level of development of its drive system and chassis technology, its elegant design, uncompromising standards when it comes to quality of materials and workmanship and the wide variety of individualisation options available. Added to which, the new generation of the BMW iDrive control/operation system and cutting-edge innovations in the area of automated driving and parking systems further enhance the emotional richness of the driving experience.
The first-ever BMW i4 is the BMW brand’s first purely electric model focused squarely on driving dynamics from the outset. One model variant will be available from launch. The first-ever BMW i4 eDrive40 combines a 250 kW/340 hp electric motor with classical rear-wheel drive. Its maximum range as per the WLTP cycle is 590 kilometres.
