    BMW i4 Confirmed To Pack 523 HP (380 kW)

    At one stage the only manufacturer that was well and truly committed to making electric vehicles was Tesla. But now, as emission regulations are slowly choking the life out of internal combustion engines, the likes of Porsche, Jaguar and indeed BMW are increasingly offering alternatives to the American brand. Speaking of BMW, the German marque has recently confirmed that the next electric vehicle to form part of their portfolio will be the i4.

    We first saw the i4 in i Vision Dynamics Concept guise back in 2017 at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. While the BMW i8 and i3 are essentially two standalone models, the i4 will form part of the 4-Series lineup. According to MotorAuthority.com, the i4 will probably replace the 4-Series Gran Coupe.

    So, what electric motor will be powering the i4? Well, the 80-kilowatt-hour battery power unit is expected to push out 523 horsepower (380 kW) and have a range of around 480 kilometres. 0-100 km/h will be dealt with in under 4 seconds and it will have a limited top speed of 193 km/h.

    If you’re worried about fast charging options, BMW stated that the i4 will be able to make use of 150 kW fast chargers that will be able to charge the car from 0 – 80% in 35 minutes.

    The battery that BMW will use in the i4 is the company’s fifth-generation design and is more compact (in terms of kWh) than previous batteries. Despite that, the batteries still come in at a substantial weight of 550 kilograms.

    We can expect to see the i4 in 2021.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
