Proving that SUVs aren’t always the definitive family car, the BMW i4 is this year’s best car for families. This premium electric hatchback answers perfectly to the demands of families being packed with charging ports, storage cubbies and comfortable seating, while also looking like it could handle a track day without breaking a sweat. One owner summed it up by saying the i4 "has great handling and acceleration, and I regularly drive the family on long journeys in complete comfort."
The electric powertrain provides a smooth and powerful driving experience for up to 367 miles (depending on model), which is perfect for even the longest journeys. And let’s face it, those sweeping headlights flanking the trademark grille make it a vehicle you want to be seen in. BMW saw off stiff competition from one of its own cars, the BMW iX3, and the Volvo XC60, both of which are deserving runners up. Congratulations to BMW, though. Return to the New Car Awards homepage
