Performance is where the 2025 BMW i4 truly shines. With multiple trim options and legendary eDrive technology, the i4 delivers pulse-quickening acceleration and handling that outclass its competitors.
Now available in three refined variants:
BMW’s eDrive technology combines smooth electric torque with exceptional chassis tuning for a drive that’s as refined as it is exhilarating.
The Audi Q4 e-tron, while stylish and capable, simply cannot match the i4’s performance pedigree. Even the upgraded Q4 55 e-tron maxes out at 335 horsepower, with 0–60 times around 5.0–5.8 seconds—decent, but far from thrilling. For drivers who crave both efficiency and excitement, the BMW i4 is the obvious choice.
BMW engineers every vehicle with your safety in mind—and the i4 exemplifies that commitment with an extensive suite of intelligent safety systems designed to protect, assist, and empower the driver.
Every trim comes standard with BMW’s Active Driving Assistant, including:
This proactive approach helps keep you and your passengers protected—before, during, and after a collision.
While the Q4 e-tron includes modern driver assistance features, its safety tech doesn’t go as far as BMW’s in terms of integrated collision mitigation and predictive safety measures. The Q4’s systems feel reactive—whereas the BMW i4 is designed to anticipate and respond for maximum peace of mind.
BMW continues to push the boundaries of digital innovation with Operating System 8.5, now standard in the 2025 i4. The result? A driving experience that’s smarter, smoother, and more personalized than ever before.
The i4’s technology ecosystem is designed around you, with standout features including:
Every aspect of the BMW i4’s tech is intuitive, fast, and deeply integrated for daily use.
The Q4 e-tron offers Audi’s MMI infotainment system with a large touchscreen and Virtual Cockpit—but it lacks the immersive, driver-focused environment that BMW’s iDrive 8.5 provides. Key highlights and limitations include:
While the Q4 e-tron covers the basics well, tech-savvy drivers may notice the absence of more advanced features that make day-to-day driving feel smarter and more seamless.
The 2025 BMW i4 clearly outshines the 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron in every category that matters:
If you’re searching for a premium electric vehicle that doesn’t compromise on driving excitement, safety, or digital innovation, the BMW i4 is the clear winner.
