Its sleek design, luxurious interior and advanced connectivity options further enhance the driving experience, making it one of the most well-respected and awarded electric vehicles.

“The BMW i4’s 2025 Canadian Electric Car of the Year win shows that EVs can be as fun to drive as gas models,” said Evan Williams, President of AJAC. “AJAC's expert jury ranked this high-performance EV the highest for its electric powertrain which delivers both power and range, its impressive regenerative braking system, and its interior quality. Congratulations to the BMW i4, a multi-time winner of AJAC’s top awards.”
