After the cancellation of the 2020 Geneva Motor Show, due to Coronavirus precautions, the Bavarians decided to launch its BMW Concept i4<\/a> via livestream on the same day of its original Geneva debut. Today. While we can\u2019t see the car in person, as we would have if it were revealed in the land of cheese and chocolate, we still get to see what the brand\u2019s sedan of the future is like.<\/p>\n

The Design<\/h3>\n

The BMW i4 Concept may be just that, a concept car, but it\u2019s extremely close to production-ready, from what we\u2019re told. So the car you\u2019re seeing in pictures right now will be extremely similar to the car you\u2019ll see on auto show stands and, eventually, on the road. Just, with road-legal headlights, mirrors and some windshield wipers.<\/p>\n

Which is a very good thing, as it\u2019s the perfect blend of present and future. The design is radical yet attractive and exciting yet familiar. Sure, its monster kidney grilles are going to cause some controversy but we\u2019ll all get used to it and it actually sort of works on an electric car, despite the irony.<\/p>\n

Big Kidneys Are Here To Stay<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s interesting is that those enormous grilles do actually serve a purpose. Rather than be used to bring air into an engine, as the BMW Concept i4 obviously has no engine, the signature kidneys have become what BMW calls \u201cIntelligence Panels\u201d. So they now house a variety of sensors, which is actually quite clever. The headlights also dance on a line between old and new, as they still retain the same four-eyed design but in a much sleeker, more vertical layout.<\/p>\n
