A few days ago, i4 added an eDrive35 model. As an entry-level model of i4, its price is 429,900. Two models have been released before, namely, the eDrive 40 model with 469,900 and the M50 model with 549,900. In addition to the differences in power, the new models are also different in some configurations. The following maps are all official maps of i4 eDrive40.
Because it is only a new model, it is consistent with the design of the eDrive40 model on sale in appearance.
The iconic star screen air intake grille, with exaggerated air intakes on both sides, and slim intelligent LED headlights (optional laser headlights), the front face is very sharp. At the same time, the slightly raised ribs between the depressed front and the engine room cover show a strong sense of strength and the aggressiveness of the whole vehicle.
The outline of the car body is full of sculpture, outlining the lines that are sporty and elegant, and it is full of appeal. There is no change in the body size, the length, width and height are 4785/1853/1455 respectively, and the wheelbase is 2856 mm. Positioning is a medium-sized car, but such wheelbase will still be the mainstream level in 2023.
There is still a spoiler decoration similar to exhaust in the rear of the car. It is rare for pure electric vehicles to adopt this kind of simulated exhaust system decoration, which actually meets the appearance needs of "conservative" people, and it always feels a little less sporty without exhaust.
In terms of body color, the new car is equipped with the same color scheme as the eDrive40 model. As standard, it can be selected from sapphire blue, tourmaline gray, Portman blue, Brooklyn gray, Danquan stone blue, mineral white, sunset orange, frosted Portman blue, lapis lazuli red and San Remo green.
The interior is also a continuation of the family-style design style, which is consistent with the layout of the eDrive40 model.
It uses the iconic through center console and air conditioning outlet that turns to the driver’s seat, and some commonly used physical buttons are still reserved under the air conditioner. Chicken-leg-type electronic gear handle and knob are also available, as well as classic large-size two-screen and three-frame multi-function steering wheel.
In terms of configuration, compared with the eDrive40, the 360-degree panoramic parking image is cancelled, keyless entry, and the automatic parking assist system Plus is downgraded to an automatic parking assist system. Its main active braking, reversing image and lane keeping are all available, and more configurations can be added by matching.
The new i4 eDrive35 is equipped with a single motor with a maximum power of 210kW(286Ps) and a maximum torque of 400 N m.. Compared with i4 eDrive40, its power difference is 40kW(54Ps) and 30 N m.. However, in the zero-hundred-acceleration performance, the eDrive35 model is 6 seconds, and the eDrive40 model is 5.7 seconds. The difference of only 0.3 seconds is not much, and the maximum speed is limited to 182 km/h.
The eDrive35 model is equipped with a 70kWh ternary lithium battery pack. The cruising range under CLTC condition is 511km, and it can be charged to 80% in a little more than half an hour, and it only takes 7 hours to charge slowly. As a reference, the eDrive40 model is equipped with a ternary lithium battery of 83.9kWh, and the cruising range under CLTC condition is 625km, with a fast charge of about 45 minutes and a slow charge of more than 8 hours. Compared with the two, the charging speed of the eDrive35 model is a little faster, but after all, the battery is smaller and the battery life is less than 100 kilometers.
Compared with the eDrive40, the i4′ s entry-level model has also reduced a lot of configuration, but the price has also been lowered accordingly. The main function of its new car models is to further enrich the lineup of electric products and meet the travel needs of consumers with different prices.
