2024 BMW i4 vs 2024 BMW i7

Serving Fairfax, VA

For Fairfax auto shoppers who prefer to drive an all-electric vehicle while maintaining exceptional standards for luxury, the BMW lineup holds several exciting options. The 2024 BMW i4 is in its third year and is closely designed after the gas-powered 4 Series Gran Coupe. The 2023 BMW i7 debuted last year, and it is the all-electric version of the flagship 7 Series sedan. In addition to differences in size and price, there are other brilliant differences from bumper to bumper to explore before narrowing down your options.

Performance

The 2024 BMW i4 has three powertrain systems. The base trim comes with a rear-mounted, 281-horsepower electric motor. The mid-level powertrain is also a single-motor, rear-mounted system, giving you 335 horsepower. A dual-motor, all-wheel drive system is also offered, producing up to 536 horsepower. The i4's battery range is as high as 301 miles depending on the engine selected. The 2023 BMW i7, on the other hand, has two powertrain systems. The single-motor, rear-mounted engine gives you 650 horsepower. The all-wheel drive, two-motor system produces more torque and can shoot the i7 up to 60 miles per hour in only 3.5 seconds.

Appearance

The sophistication of BMW sedans is on full display for the i4 and i7. The 2024 i4 is spectacularly curved across its profile and shows off decadent contouring through the sides. The sides also have an angled flare with a lower-body accent line for a sporty touch. This model is also distinguished by a tall, slender grille, four air vents, and premium headlights with dual LED accents. The 2024 i7 is a larger vehicle with a flat roof and a raked rear. The sides are deeply sculpted and show off a lower-body accent. At the front, you will find a larger grille and L-shaped air vents. These large air vents sit below the narrow, divided LED headlights.

Features

If you prefer to drive the 2024 BMW i4, your sedan could be equipped with a 14.9-inch central display screen, synthetic or authentic leather upholstery, wireless smartphone app connectivity, a digital instrumentation cluster, auto emergency braking, front and rear parking sensors, automated parking, a 360-degree camera, heated seats, adaptive cruise control, a Harman Kardon audio system, wireless device charging, a head-up display, and other elite features. The i7 has many of the i4's features, but it stands out with its curved glass housing that integrates two display screens, cashmere upholstery, the iDrive 8.5 system, a 31-inch rear entertainment system screen, theater mode, and others.
