BMW i4 Electric: Extended Range & Power Boost Now in Sri Lanka

Electric mobility in Sri Lanka is about to get a significant boost! Mohan Traders is excited to share that BMW has confirmed substantial updates for the 2026 i4 electric sedan, bringing more power, enhanced efficiency, and extended driving range. This news is sure to thrill Sri Lankan electric vehicle enthusiasts and those considering their first plunge into the world of premium EVs.

The BMW i4 has already established itself as a compelling option in the luxury electric segment, perfectly blending BMW’s renowned driving dynamics with the benefits of zero-emission mobility. For 2026, BMW is refining this winning formula, making the i4 an even more attractive proposition for the discerning Sri Lankan motorist.

Key Enhancements for the 2026 BMW i4:

More Miles, Less Worry (Improved Range)

One of the most significant updates for the 2026 i4 is an increase in driving range. BMW is achieving this by incorporating new silicon-carbide semiconductor components into the inverter. This innovative technology is expected to reduce energy consumption by approximately 5 percent, translating to a valuable increase in the vehicle’s range. For Sri Lankan drivers, this means greater confidence on longer journeys and fewer stops for charging, whether you’re navigating urban traffic or embarking on a scenic tour across the island. The i4 eDrive40, for example, is expected to see its range increase from 491 km to around 510 km (WLTP), while the eDrive35 could see an increase from 406 km to 428 km (WLTP).

A New Performance Flagship (i4 M60)

For those who demand exhilarating performance, the top-tier i4 M50 is being replaced by the new i4 M60. This new range-topper will deliver a substantial power bump, increasing output by an impressive 56 horsepower to a total of 592 horsepower (in Sport mode). This means even more thrilling acceleration, with the 0 to 100 km/h sprint dropping to a remarkable 3.7 seconds. This elevates the i4’s performance credentials, offering a truly dynamic driving experience that’s synonymous with BMW M.

Refined Efficiency Across the Board

While the battery capacities of 70.2 kWh (eDrive35) and 83.9 kWh (eDrive40/M60) remain the same, the efficiency gains from the new inverter technology will benefit all variants. This means more kilometers for every charge, making the i4 an even more practical and economical choice for daily use in Sri Lanka.

Why the 2026 BMW i4 Matters to Sri Lankan Buyers:

As Sri Lanka continues its embrace of sustainable transportation, electric vehicles like the BMW i4 are becoming increasingly popular. The 2026 updates solidify the i4’s position as a premium choice by addressing key aspects important to local buyers:

• Greater Practicality: The extended range directly translates to more practical usability for diverse travel needs within Sri Lanka, from daily commutes to weekend getaways.
• Enhanced Driving Pleasure: The increased power in the M60 variant offers an exciting proposition for performance enthusiasts, providing thrilling acceleration and dynamic handling.
• Cutting-Edge Technology: BMW’s continuous innovation, exemplified by the new silicon-carbide inverter, ensures that the i4 remains at the forefront of EV technology.
• Luxury and Comfort: The i4 retains its luxurious interior, refined driving dynamics, and comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features, offering a premium and comfortable experience on every journey.

While specific pricing and the exact arrival date for the 2026 BMW i4 in Sri Lanka will be confirmed closer to its market launch, these updates underscore BMW’s commitment to advancing electric mobility.
