BMW confirmed the official EPA range ratings for the i4 and iX. The i4 is a sedan, and the iX is a Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV).

The following are the official range estimates and other details about both electric vehicles.

For the 2022 iX, BMW offers one trim, iX xDrive50. It has an EPA-estimated range of 324 miles.

However, the wheels you select impact the range rating. 324 miles is with the 20-inch wheels. The 21-inch wheels offer 305 miles, and the 22-inch wheels have 315 miles.

BMW’s goal is to launch the iX in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2022. It has an MSRP of $83,200, and there’s a $995 destination fee.

The iX xDrive50 has a zero-to-60-mph time of 4.4 seconds and an output of 516 horsepower. For charging, the iX is capable of DC fast charging at up to 195 kW.

BMW plans to offer a second, more powerful iX M60 trim in the future.

BMW offers two trims for the i4. You can select the rear-wheel drive i4 eDrive40 or the all-wheel drive i4 M50.

The i4 eDrive40 is rated with a 301-mile driving range when equipped with 18-inch wheels. With the 19 inch wheels, the driving range is 282 miles.

The i4 M50 has an EPA-estimated range of 270 miles with 19-inch wheels and 227 miles with 20-inch wheels.

The i4 uses BMW’s 5th generation eDrive, which is the latest version. The eDrive40 trim has an output of 335 horsepower, and the M50 has an output of 536 horsepower.

It has a maximum DC fast-charging capacity of up to 200 kW and AC Level 2 charging of up to 11 kW.

BMW plans to launch the i4 around the same time as the iX, the first quarter of 2022.

The i4 has a starting MSRP of $55,400 for the eDrive40 model and $65,900 for the M50. There’s also a $995 destination fee.
