BMW i4: BMW to launch all-electric sedan i4 in India next month – Check details here

German luxury carmaker BMW is all set to launch its all-electric sedan, i4, in India next month, continuing its electric vehicle offensive in the country, a senior company official said on Thursday, a PTI report said.

The company, which announced plans to launch three electric vehicles in India in the next six months to accelerate its electric mobility journey in the country in November last year, has already launched its technology flagship all-electric SUV iX and all-electric MINI luxury hatchback in the country.

“So, the i4 has started selling earlier this year right across the world. Now, India launch is happening on May 26,” BMW Group India President and CEO Vikram Pawah told PTI.

He further said, “We promised that we will continue launching great products, iX we launched (in December at an introductory price of Rs 1.16 crore) and the delivery is starting today and all have been pre-sold.”

Pawah said the BMW India has received “great response” to the all-electric MINI luxury hatchback and the deliveries have already been done.

Commenting on the significance of BMW’s EV line-up in India, Pawah said, “All the three products are quite significant because if you look at it, iX is the first all-wheel-drive full-electric SAV (sports activity vehicle) in our portfolio. MINI is the only premium hatch, I would say, in the country in full electric format and the i4 will be the first premium (luxury) sedan in the country, which is fully electric.”

Stating that BMW is known for its sedans, he said, “We’ve shown the world how the 3-Series can be significant, and I think i4 is equally significant for us.”

Pawah, on the other hand, said that more information on the i4 would be released closer to the debut.

BMW said it would deploy fast chargers at all touchpoints at dealer networks in 35 Indian cities to help boost EV adoption.
