Power Company will launch a production version of the BMW i4. The BMW i4 concept car can be viewed as a concept car from visual power, which is closer to the production version. We can see this concept from the outside.

The i4 concept car continues my vision.

Many design languages ​​on Dynamics, including a sedan look, large kidney grille and extremely three-dimensional headlight style, reduce the distance between concept and reality. In addition, the concept car also uses "matte bright copper" body paint, which fully reflects the modern aesthetic design and produces shocking visual effects. new concept

The i4 concept car has a huge kidney grille in the center of the front. Because it is a pure electric vehicle, it does not require internal combustion engine cooling, and its grille adopts a closed design, which is mainly used as a "smart panel" to accommodate various sensors. In addition, in order to highlight its identity as a pure electric vehicle, like other BMW series products, trim bars and BMWs are also designed around the grille.

Vision has the same effect in pure electric concept cars. Flat and three-dimensional headlights are the design direction of BMW's future products. The four U-shaped daytime running lights in the headlights impress the entire car and match the large-sized grille to make the whole car look more imposing. The side adopts the design style of car driving. The soft waistline, the flat hood sliding backwards and the raised rear end give the entire car a visual extension and a small 8 flavor. It is worth mentioning that BMW

The concept i4 has four doors that can provide better convenience and practicality. At the rear of the car, the smooth lines outline a wide and vibrant gesture.

The traditional shifting mechanism has been eliminated from the center of the front seats, and the remaining iDrive control buttons and seat memory buttons are made of bright crystal parts. The seat material consists of lined microfibers and olive leaf-tanned natural leather, embodying environmentally friendly and sustainable design concepts. The combination of the new curved display and the steering wheel reflects a new driver-oriented positioning, while showing the innovative design of the future operating system. First, the display screen optimizes the information display mode in the form of horizontal groupings to achieve a convenient information browsing experience. At the same time, it provides a more intuitive touch screen operation, made of non-reflective glass material, highlighting a strong sense of technology. Pure electric BMW
