How does the boot space of the BMW i4 compare to it's nearest competitors?
Competing against other electric vehicles in the market, the BMW i4 stands up fairly well in terms of boot volume. It offers significantly more space than the Tesla Model X (425 liters) and the KIA EV6 (490 liters). However, it's outdone by some strong competitors, such as the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV (645 liters) and the Peugeot Partner (1800 liters).
