BMW i4 Named Best Premium EV In Canada

RICHMOND HILl, ON. Today the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) jas announced the BMW i4 as winner of the Best Premium EV in Canada for 2023.

The BMW i4 is available in three variants; the eDrive35, eDrive40 and the M50 xDrive and has a base MSRP of $54,990 CAD. Depending on the variant and types of equipment selected, the i4 offers an all-electric driving range between 365 and 484 km.

Voting data for the award was collected from AJAC journalists across Canada, who tested eligible vehicles on the same roads and in the same conditions faced by Canadian drivers. With this category win, the i4 now qualifies to be named 2023 Canadian Car of the Year, to be announced in February 2023.

The i4 blends the functionality and space of the gran coupé design with the instantaneous power delivery of BMW’s latest 5th generation eDrive, which is also found in the BMW iX Sport Activity Vehicle. Class-leading driving dynamics and long-distance comfort, elegant design, uncompromising workmanship, cuttingedge user-vehicle interface and advanced infotainment and driving assistance technologies all combine to deliver a zero-emissions BMW worthy of the Ultimate Driving Machine moniker.

Sustainability was an integral part of the development of the new BMW i4, from the sourcing of materials to the production of the i4 itself and to the recycling of its components in the future. Every step of the value chain was carefully looked at to reduce the carbon footprint of the i4 to the absolute lowest level possible.

The BMW i4 has been available at Canadian BMW retailers since March of 2022.
