In the new energy era, BMW has also introduced a pure electric version of the BMW i4 based on the BMW 4 Series. At present, there are two configurations available for the imported version sold in China, namely the BMW i4 2022 eDrive40 with a price of 469,900 yuan and the BMW i4 2022 M50 with a price of 549,900 yuan.

However, the BMW Group obviously wants to do a big job in the field of new energy. This is not the case. The more entry-level version of the BMW i4 eDrive30 model is expected to be officially launched in July. As an entry-level model, the new car will be equipped with a motor with weaker power than the current BMW i4 eDrive40 and a battery pack with smaller capacity, and the cruising range will also drop to 511km.

In terms of price, referring to the pricing of current models and overseas markets, it is estimated that the price of the BMW i4 eDrive30 will be around 429,900 yuan, so if it is such a price, will you be willing to buy it? After all, this price is already 40,000 yuan cheaper than the starting price of the current i4 eDrive40, so it looks quite cost-effective.

In terms of appearance, the overall shape of the BMW i4 eDrive30 has become much gentler and more restrained than that of the current BMW i4 eDrive40. The main reason for this phenomenon is that the shape of the front enclosure has changed, and black plastic plaques have been added, which makes the fighting atmosphere of the whole front face decline.

In terms of interior, the whole layout is still the same as the design of the current BMW i4 eDrive40, but the car system may be equipped with iDrive8.5 operating system, while the keyless entry function, automatic parking assist system Plus and other configurations may need to be optional, which is also a reflection of the reduced configuration. After all, the positioning of the i4 eDrive30 model is the entry level.

As for the power, referring to the overseas models, the maximum power of the rear single motor of the BMW i4 eDrive35 is 210kW and the peak torque is 400 N m. According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the i4 eDrive35 will be equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 70.27kWh and a cruising range of 511km.

Summary: On the premise that the power and configuration of the entry-level version of the BMW i4 eDrive30 have declined, the price of the new car is expected to be further reduced. At the same time, the appearance of the new car has become more moderate, and the use of the latest iDrive8.5 operating system in the interior should also make the whole car experience better. Finally, after reading the upcoming BMW i4 eDrive30 model, do you think this new car will achieve good sales performance? Leave a message in the comment area.(Text/Youshi Automobile Dazhuo)
