The BMW i4 and iX will arrive in America early next year and the automaker has now revealed their EPA ranges.
While the numbers haven’t been posted on the government’s website, BMW said the iX xDrive50 will have an EPA range of 324 miles (521 km) when equipped with 20-inch wheels. That drops to 305 miles (491 km) with 21-inch wheels, but strangely climbs to 315 miles (507 km) with 22-inch wheels.
The crossover starts at $83,200 and features a 111.5 kWh battery pack that powers a dual motor all-wheel drive system, which develops a combined output of 516 hp (385 kW / 523 PS) and 564 lb-ft (764 Nm) of torque. It enables the iX xDrive50 to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.4 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h).

Moving on, the i4 eDrive40 has an EPA range of 301 miles (484 km) when equipped with 18-inch wheels. That drops to 282 miles (454 km) when outfitted with larger 19-inch wheels.
The performance-oriented i4 M50 has a range of 270 miles (435 km) with 19-inch wheels, but upgrading to the available 20-inchers should probably be avoided as it drastically reduces the range to 227 miles (365 km). That’s nearly a 16% drop and it reduces the range from good to simply okay.
The $55,400 i4 eDrive40 has an 83.9 kWh battery pack and a rear-mounted electric motor that develops 335 hp (250 kW / 340 PS) and 317 lb-ft (429 Nm) of torque. It allows the model to run from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 5.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 118 mph (190 km/h).
The i4 M50, on the other hand, begins at $65,900 and has a dual motor powertrain pumping out a combined 536 hp (400 kW / 543 PS) and 586 lb-ft (794 Nm) of torque. This cuts the 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time to 3.7 seconds, while the top speed climbs up to 140 mph (225 km/h).
