2022 BMW i4 M50 Review: BMW’s Not Messing About

BMW Group Canada has announced the launch of a new model in their electric vehicle lineup, the 2024 BMW i4 xDrive40. This new addition expands the i4 range, introducing a second xDrive all-wheel drive variant. Up until now, the “lesser” eDrive40 was only available with a single motor.

Equipped with a robust powertrain, the dual-motor BMW i4 xDrive40 will produce 396 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. This will allow the vehicle to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in a swift 5.1 seconds.

In terms of range, the new i4 xDrive40 boasts an impressive preliminary estimated EPA range of up to 494 kilometers, marking it as a competitive choice for long-distance EV driving.

BMW has confirmed that the Canadian market will start receiving the BMW i4 xDrive40 beginning from July production. This new model carries a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $69,900 CAD.

This announcement by BMW Group Canada reemphasizes the automaker’s commitment to expanding its EV offerings and providing consumers with more choices in the emerging electric vehicle market.
