BMW has updated its best-selling EV, the 2026 i4, enhancing its driving range and power. The new model features silicon carbide (SiC) inverters, which improve efficiency and allow for over 300 miles of range, regardless of wheel and tire choices. These advancements make the i4 more efficient, powerful, and heat-resistant compared to traditional semiconductors, aligning with consumer demand for better performance in electric vehicles.

The 2026 BMW i4 is bringing a few key improvements, including a longer driving range and added power. Here’s what to expect.
