The BMW i4 has been named Australia’s best luxury electric vehicle (EV) in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice Awards.
The battery-powered premium liftback beat out two electric SUVs for the title: the Cadillac Lyriq and Porsche Macan.
Unlike many other EVs developed from a combustion-vehicle platform, the BMW i4 feels like it was designed from the outset as an EV.

Not only that, but it feels like a BMW thanks to its superb ride and handling balance.
It also looks like a BMW, given its close relation to the 4 Series Gran Coupe, which means a sleek design and a well-appointed, tech-rich cabin.
The base eDrive35 also slides under the Luxury Car Tax (LCT) threshold for fuel-efficient vehicles, making it exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) if you buy one through a novated lease. It also has plenty of grunt, though you can step up to more powerful eDrive40 and hot M50 variants if you so desire.
Regardless of the variant, all i4s feature a liftback body, which makes the BMW more practical than rival sedans. All of this makes this fun-to-drive luxury EV a surprisingly sensible choice, and our pick for best luxury EV.
