Explore BMW i4 2023 BMW I4 VS. TESLA MODEL 3

If you’re ready to make the switch to electric driving in Raleigh and you desire a luxury behind-the-wheel experience, you might be drawn to segment pioneers like the Tesla Model 3. But before you put all your eggs in Tesla’s basket, you should know that the luxury EV segment is rapidly expanding with hot new competition, including BMW i models like the BMW i4 sedan. Compare the BMW i4 vs. Tesla Model 3 below to learn how the new i4 surpasses the Model 3 in both EV performance and luxury.

2022 Tesla Model 3 vs. 2022 BMW i4: Performance

The Tesla Model 3 can be upgraded with long-range and high-performance configurations, but when you compare the most entry-level performance specs for the BMW i4 vs. Tesla Model 3, it becomes clear that the standard Model 3 is underwhelming on the Cary roads:

  • The entry-level BMW i4 achieves a range of 301 miles, while the baseline Tesla Model 3 only achieves 272 miles on a full battery. While it might not seem like a big disparity at first glance, it can actually add up to an additional day’s worth of driving for the average Chapel Hill commuter!
  • The BMW i4 proves more responsive than the Tesla Model 3 — the standard i4 hits 0–60 mph in only 5.5 seconds, while it takes 5.8 seconds in a base-level Model 3.
  • Air Suspension is standard in the BMW i4 but isn’t available in the Tesla Model 3. Air Suspension brings a smoother, more controlled ride to your daily travels.

2022 Tesla Model 3 vs. 2022 BMW i4: Standard Features

Many of the luxuries that are standard in the base-level BMW i4 require an upgrade in the Tesla Model 3, so the budget-friendly price of the Model 3 quickly increases to get the driving experience you desire. Plus, the BMW i4 includes numerous creature comforts and essential technologies that Tesla doesn’t make available in its models, such as:

  • Apple CarPlay™
  • Android Auto™
  • Sirius XM™ Satellite Radio
  • HD Radio™
  • Rain-sensing windshield wipers
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Power-activated trunk
  • Voice control
