BMW i5 LWB vs BMW i4 Comparison overview

Comparison overview: The BMW i5 LWB starts at Price on request - ₹79.60 L and the BMW i4 at ₹72.50 L, a difference of ₹72.50 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹80.48 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Engine and performance: The BMW i5 LWB uses a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Electric making 268bhp and listed torque with Automatic. The BMW i4 uses a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Electric making 335.25bhp and listed torque with Automatic.

What one gives that the other does not: The BMW i4 adds Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist, No. of Airbags, Driver Airbag and Passenger Airbag. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the BMW i5 LWB if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹72.50 L for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the BMW i4 if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: BMW i4 offers Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
