Now that the BMW\u00a0i4 Concept<\/a>\u00a0is here, it\u2019s time to compare it to its main competitor \u2014 the\u00a0Tesla Model 3 Performance<\/a>. Of course, this is purely a visual comparison to determine which one looks best. To outline their designs, we used a mix of regular Model 3 and Performance photos.<\/p>\n

The BMW i4 Concept is just that \u2014 a concept. While the Model 3 is a full production car. So comparing their styling might be a fool\u2019s errand. However, the i4 Concept is said to be incredibly close to production-ready, so the final production car will look very similar to the Concept we\u2019re looking at now. With that said, we can start comparing the cars\u2019 styling a bit.<\/p>\n

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

It\u2019s clear which of these two cars is the more interesting, exciting looking car \u2014 the BMW i4 Concept. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s necessarily better looking, as it\u2019s certainly quite funky. However, it\u2019s the more interesting looking car for sure. The Tesla Model 3 has always had more of a simple, vanilla design. In fact, the most interesting part of its design is on top of the car, where you can\u2019t see it; its glass roof. Aside from that, it\u2019s about as bland as cars get. I\u2019m also not saying the Model 3 is bad looking because it isn\u2019t. It\u2019s just boring.<\/p>\n

In that regard, these two cars are the antithesis of each other. The Model 3 is just a bar of soap while the BMW i4 Concept is heavily sculpted, has muscular haunches and big, bold features. The i4 Concept has those two monster grilles while the Model 3 lacks a grille altogether.<\/p>\n

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

On the inside, that same sentiment remains. The Model 3 doesn’t have a bad looking interior because it doesn’t really have much of an interior to speak of. There’s a giant screen, a steering wheel and some seats. That’s about it. At the same time, the BMW i4 Concept looks more futuristics and premium.<\/p>\n

If we had to choose, based purely on style, we’d go for the BMW i4 Concept. It’s an insane looking car, the i4, but I’d take insane over completely lifeless any day. Again, the Model 3 isn’t a bad looking car; there’s nothing objectively wrong with it; it’s just not that exciting overall.<\/p>\n

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

Of course, the real comparison comes from a test drive so we’re hoping to do that sometimes next year.<\/p>\n
