2022 BMW i4 vs. 2022 Tesla Model 3

More and more electric vehicles (EVs) are being released, but what if you’re looking for an EV that embodies what’s the best in the electric world and the best of high-end cars? The 2022 BMW i4 and the 2022 Tesla Model 3 surely come to mind first. While many think of Tesla when they heard about EVs, BMW has been bringing some feisty competition to the high-end electric car game. Despite its lineup only starting this model year, the all-new BMW i4 is a worthy competitor to the Model 3! So which one deserves your attention? Find out in the following 2022 BMW i4 vs. Tesla Model 3 guide.

2022 BMW i4 vs. Tesla Model 3: Electric Performance

Whether you’re exploring the new BMW i4 vs. Tesla Model 3 or any other EV on the market, you have to see how its electric performance will improve your driving experience in Redmond. Needless to say, both lineups will definitely add plenty to your commutes, even if you want more traction as both can be upgraded to an all-wheel-drive system.

However, the differences start when we take a closer look at the specs. While the entry-level trim of the Tesla Model 3 starts lower at $46,990, its specs don’t quite hold up to the entry-level trim of the BMW i4. In other words, if you go for the Model 3, you’ll have to upgrade to get similar specs as the starting i4 trim. See the base performance specs here:

2022 BMW i4 eDrive40 Specs

• Base Range: Up to 301 mi

2022 BMW i4 vs. Tesla Model 3: Convenient Charging

When you step into either the Model 3 or i4, you know you are enjoying the best electric performance out there. But is it easy to keep enjoying that performance when you’re out and about? Supercharger, the fastest charging station for Tesla vehicles, is available in Seattle, WA, but BMW makes it even more convenient for you to charge anywhere with a complimentary Flexible Fast Charger, which is portable and compatible with any 120 V or 240V outlets.

2022 BMW i4 vs. Tesla Model 3: Luxury Exclusiveness

Now that we have gotten the performance part down, we have to consider the high-end part of things. While Tesla is all about offering a minimalistic driving experience (even to the point of making self-driving cars available), BMW is still the one providing you with that luxury experience. Not one is necessarily better than the other, but if you want a luxury vehicle in Everett, the BMW i4 is the better fit! Here are some testaments to BMW’s luxury experience that Tesla simply doesn’t offer to their customers:

• Supreme Seating: When you let your body soak into the comfortable seat made of premium materials inside a new i4, you’ll spend every minute on the road relaxing. Paired with the available heated front seats and the front ventilated seats, you will reenergize until your next destination.
• Comfort & Convenience Luxury Amenities: Enjoy a standard 2-way power glass moonroof with “one-touch” operation and sliding interior sunshade as well as a multi-zone climate control that includes micro-filter and automatic air recirculation. Lay your hands on the 3-spoke leather-wrapped sport steering wheel for more elite materials in the cabin.
• BMW-Exclusive M Sport Package: Whether you’re a BMW fan or you’ve been a long-time luxury owner, chances are you are familiar with the available M Sport Package.
