In a growing field of electric vehicles, it helps to narrow the shopping list. One of the most intriguing options is the new BMW i4 all-electric Gran Coupe. But how does BMW's sportiest electric car compare to competitors like the Tesla Model 3? Stevens Creek BMW is here to show you. You'll soon be shopping for the i4 and other new BMW EVs in San Jose along Stevens Creek Boulevard.
BMW i4 vs. Tesla Model 3
Before visiting your Bay Area BMW EV dealer in San Jose, see how the i4 promises a better EV ownership journey.
The 2024 BMW i4 has a higher Consumer Reports EV ranking, sliding in at No. 2, compared to No. 8 for the Tesla Model 3.
Range
In multiple range-testing scenarios, the Tesla Model 3 fell roughly 80 to 90 miles short of its suggested 333-mile range total. Capable of traveling 307 miles per charge, the BMW i4 reached its anticipated range totals in every scenario.
BMW i4 eDrive35 Gran Coupe models offer 252 to 276 miles of all-electric range, while i4 eDrive40 and i4 xDrive40 can travel for 283 to 307 miles on a single charge. The i4 M50 models have range totals between 227 and 269 miles. The standard range of the Tesla Model 3 is 272 miles.
Loyalty Offers for the BMW i4
The 2024 BMW i4 has exclusive lease loyalty offers and loan loyalty offers — $1,000 each. It pays to make the switch to a fully electric BMW.
Power
New BMW i4 Gran Coupes generate 281 and 335 horsepower in eDrive35 and eDrive40 models, respectively. Those figures top the Tesla Model 3 RWD models at 271 horsepower. With a max output of 536 horsepower, the new BMW i4 M50 is more powerful than the Tesla Model 3, as its AWD model maxes out at 425 horsepower.
Screen Size
The Tesla Model 3's 15-inch touchscreen is large, but it cannot compare to the i4's BMW Curved Display. This gives San Jose BMW owners access to a large Central Information Display and Digital Instrument Cluster that combine to provide nearly twice the screen size. The result? Your BMW i4 delivers a more engaging drive to Alum Rock Park or Santana Row.
