2025 BMW i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe (18 inch wheels): the full review

The i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe is an electric, rear-wheel-drive car with a listed EPA range of 318 miles. Its energy use, 240 V charge time and annual fuel cost round out the running-cost picture.

Overview

The 2025 BMW i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe is a rear-wheel-drive electric car in the EPA’s Compact Cars class. Its official EPA range is 318 miles, and its combined rating is 112 MPGe. The figures give shoppers a useful starting point for comparing its rated range and energy use with their driving needs.

The drivetrain is listed with a 250 kW EESM engine and an automatic (A1) transmission. The vehicle uses electricity and has an EPA energy-use rating of 30.16 kWh per 100 miles. Its stated 240-volt charging time is 10 hours; this is a listed charging-time figure, not a guarantee of the time for every charging situation.

Key features

Powertrain: Electric, rear-wheel drive, with a 250 kW EESM engine and automatic (A1) transmission.
EPA range: 318 miles.
Combined efficiency: 112 MPGe.
Energy use: 30.16 kWh per 100 miles.
240 V charge time: 10 hours.
EPA class: Compact Cars.

These ratings describe the vehicle’s official efficiency and range figures, rather than a promise of the distance it will cover in every use. A buyer weighing the car for regular trips can consider the 318-mile rating alongside the 10-hour 240-volt charge-time figure and available charging arrangements.

Pricing

No purchase price or lease price is provided here. The listed EPA annual fuel cost is $700 USD. For this electric car, that figure is the reported annual fuel-cost estimate; it should be considered alongside the 30.16 kWh per 100 miles energy-use rating when assessing expected running costs.

Actual electricity expense depends on the cost of electricity where the vehicle is charged and how much it is driven. The annual estimate offers a consistent reference point, while an individual owner’s bill can vary with those factors.

Who it's for

The i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe may suit an EV shopper who wants a compact-class car with a rear-wheel-drive electric powertrain and an official range rating of 318 miles. The 112 MPGe combined rating and annual EPA fuel cost of $700 USD provide two more figures for comparing ongoing energy use with other options.

Its 10-hour charge-time figure at 240 volts is relevant for shoppers considering charging at that voltage. The listed information does not specify charging equipment, charging speed at other voltages, or real-world range, so buyers should not treat those details as established by these figures.

Pros and cons

Pros

A 318-mile official EPA range gives a clear rated-distance benchmark.
The 112 MPGe combined rating and 30.16 kWh per 100 miles energy-use figure help frame efficiency.
The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is stated as $700 USD.
Rear-wheel drive and the electric powertrain are clearly specified.

Considerations

The listed 10-hour charge time applies to 240 V; no other charging-time figures are provided.
No purchase or lease price is provided, so the listed facts do not establish total ownership cost.
Rated range and estimated annual fuel cost do not determine an individual driver’s results.

Alternatives

For other BMW options, shoppers can compare the 2027 BMW 228 Gran Coupe and 2027 BMW 228 xDrive Gran Coupe, along with the 2027 BMW 430i Gran Coupe and 2027 BMW 430i xDrive Gran Coupe. Other body styles in the listed 430i range include the 2027 BMW 430i Coupe, 2027 BMW 430i xDrive Coupe, 2027 BMW 430i Convertible, and 2027 BMW 430i xDrive Convertible. The supplied figures do not include comparable range, efficiency, or pricing for these alternatives.

Verdict

The 2025 BMW i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe’s strongest decision points in the listed figures are its 318-mile EPA range, 112 MPGe combined rating, 30.16 kWh per 100 miles energy use, and $700 USD annual EPA fuel-cost estimate. It is specified as an electric, rear-wheel-drive compact car, with a 10-hour 240 V charge-time figure. Those details make it possible to assess rated range and energy use, but purchase price and broader charging details are not provided.
