BMW i4 (Expected: Late 2021)

BMW’s first “i” cars, the i3 and i8, relied upon wild, futuristic designs to make a statement. The next model in the electric sub-brand has far more conventional styling, as it’s intended to be similar to the 4-series Gran Coupe four-door hatchback. BMW has already announced that the i4 will have 530 hp and an 80.0-kWh battery pack, with a range of up to 300 miles. 150-kilowatt charging will allow the i4 to recharge up to 80 percent of the car’s driving range in as little as 35 minutes. It should go on sale sometime in 2021.
