2026 BMW i4 Trims Comparison

Which 2026 i4 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The eDrive40 is the i4 to get. It's quick enough to feel sporty, and its extra range compared to the M60 (as much as 100 miles difference!) means less stopping to charge on long drives. We also recommend getting your i4 with the Driving Assistance Professional package for its additional driver assistance features.

2026 i4 trim level differences

The 2026 BMW i4 is an all-electric small luxury sedan with a hatchback-style trunk. There are three versions: eDrive40, xDrive40 and M60. Each has a different powertrain configuration and power output along with different maximum range.

The i4 lineup consists of:

  • eDrive40: has a single electric motor good for 335 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque
  • xDrive40: adds a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system and produces 396 hp and 443 lb-ft
  • M60: The sportiest of the lineup, the M60 has dual motors, all-wheel drive, and as much as 593 hp and 586 lb-ft (requires Sport mode to be engaged)

Both the i4 eDrive40 and all-wheel-drive xDrive40 are equipped the same and start things off with standard equipment including:

  • 18-inch wheels
