Reviews SummaryDon’t let BMW’s “Gran Coupe” designation fool you. This four-door sportback provides (admittedly snug) room for four adults and surprising utility thanks to its rear hatch. Top-notch reliability, impressive technology, and an enjoyable driving character are 2025 BMW i4 hallmarks, and BMW offers attractive lease programs for this four-door electric vehicle. The 2025 model year brings subtle design updates inside and out, a new infotainment system, and Plug & Charge convenience, increasing the i4’s already-considerable appeal. Verdict: If anything is standing in the i4’s path to success, it’s the hubris of its twin-kidney nose screaming “This is a BMW!” Whether you love it or hate it, there is no denying it is distinctive, but excessive. Look past this styling feature, and you’ll discover an outstanding EV. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan is a great alternative to the larger and more expensive EQS sedan. It has similar levels of luxury and is more engaging to drive. With several variants to choose from, all with excellent range, it's sure to please a wide swath of drivers, whether they’re new to an electric vehicle or seasoned veterans. | |
