As we can depict from the media gallery below, the BMW i4 is a futuristic concept, with an advanced design…nothing we have seen so far at a BMW product. All the design elements are beautifully combined together in an attempt to create the perfect body style.

Speaking of design language, Domagoj Dukec, CEO of BMW Design, has declared that:

“The design of the BMW Concept i4 shows fantastic proportions, a powerfully expressive character and, of course, a lot of attention to detail. With the Curved Display, we have redefined BMW’s signature driver focus in an extremely elegant way. At the same time, the BMW Concept i4 transports a feeling of sustainable driving pleasure.”

The i4 Concept`s body is described as revealing a “visually powerful face to the electric age” of BMW, featuring new and much more aggressive kidney grilles at the front end, in connection with two vertical items that drop down the front spoiler.

There is also the new set of headlights with a combination of past and future themes, while the traditional four-eye layout provides a much more slender style. The front section also houses a lot of sensors, all part of what BMW calls an “intelligence panel.”

At the rear end, BMW has given it a more appealing and sportier feel and look, comprising a two-piece diffuser lower down, along with thin and wide taillight theme and swooping rear windscreen which increases the car`s aggressive looks.

Moving inside, the interior of the BMW  i4 Concept is exactly the way we expected it to be: high-tech and futuristic and comprising the latest gadgetries on board. The main highlight is the brand-new “Curved Display” screen with the media interface and instrument cluster combined in one panel; also, the layout of the gauge cluster for the driver lets you easily operate between the three “experience modes” available – Core, Sport and Efficient. The latter one also comes with the new “Assisted Driving View”.

Besides the futuristic and revolutionary design, and the high-tech cabin, the BMW i4 Concept is also a beast under the hood. It uses a fifth-generation eDrive electric motor, the very same that will probably equip the future model. The power is set at a staggering 390kW, with an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h done in 4.0 seconds.

The electric motor also uses a high-voltage battery, which has a capacity of 80kW, thus offering a driving range of around 600 km. Weighing around 550 kg, it will prove extremely efficient in terms of driving capabilities.

Due to enter production in 2021, the future BMW i4 will come out as plug-in hybrid and full electric models. You can find out more about the BMW i4 Concept in the media gallery bellow. Prices will be revealed towards the end of this year.

The organizers of the show have also confirmed that the most important auto show of the year will be put off and not postponed. This is what they stated in a press conference the other days:

“The Federal Council’s top priority is to protect the population,” the authorities said in their statement. “It is responding to the latest developments in the coronavirus epidemic and has categorized the situation in Switzerland as ‘special’ in terms of the Epidemics Act.”

They also said that they regret the situation, as this is a “force majeure” to protect all the participants against the virus. GIMS also stated that “the show cannot be postponed. It`s not possible. It`s too big. It`s not feasible.”

Scheduled for an official opening on March 2, the organizers have asked the exhibitors to dismantle their auto stands by March 7, with all the tickets sold being refunded. It is quite a drastic decision, especially since carmakers all over the world have put their efforts into setting up the scenes to display their latest creations.

As aforementioned, the 2020 Geneva Motor Show will not be postponed, meaning that each carmaker will have to switch to live streams to reveal their new products. On that regard, organizers have also declared:

“A few days before the opening of the event, the construction of the stands was very nearly complete. A week ago, during the press conferences announcing the 2020 edition, there was nothing to suggest that such a measure was necessary. The situation changed with the appearance of the first confirmed coronavirus diseases in Switzerland and the injonction of the Federal Council on 28.02.2020. The event is cancelled due to this decision.”

From A-to-Z, the 2020 Geneva Motor Show should have offered quite a display, with exciting new and revolutionary cars; however, we will keep you posted along the way and offer a closer look at what carmakers have to offer via online streaming.

First off, there are plenty of new electric cars debuting in Geneva, like Fiat`s brand-new 500 which is now fuelled by a powerful battery, while BMW`s i4 sports car is fully tweaked with the latest gadgetries.

Still on the German counterpart, Audi is ready to display the new A3 Series, already previewed a couple of weeks ago, while Volkswagen is putting out the brand-new Golf GTI with impressive performance. The long-awaited Mercedes-Benz E-Class fleet will also be revealed with design improvements and new engines.

On the sports car section, Porsche is ready to unleash the exciting 911 Turbo and Turbo S in coupe and convertible styles, while Alfa Romeo will reveal the new Giulia GTA, and the Stelvio Ti ‘6C Villa d`Este’.

Second, the supercar segment will offer premium products, such as the McLaren 765LT or the road supercar concept Espera Sbarro Saetta. Let`s not forget the tuning segment with exciting new programs that will be revealed in the following days.

The making of the SUV dates back in 2017 when it was first previewed as a concept at the New York Auto Show. Gradually, the project became a reality and will turn out to be a worthy competitor to the likes of the Mercedes-Benz, Audi or BMW.   

The South Korean carmaker released the two teaser video on YouTube and ask “When was the last time you`ve experienced something for the first time?” However, just like any other teaser video, it says almost nothing about the car`s shape, interior tweaks or anything else. It is a good thing we have previous leaked images that give us a clue about the design language.

Estethically, the 2020 Genesis GV80 will adopt a more down-to-earth design language than the much more sophisticated Concept. However, we would have preferred the latter`s slimmer and more advanced grille. The GV80 will feature instead a massive pentagonal grille along with quad lamps, which is rather the same one found on the newly announced 2020 G90.

Introduced as “the first SUV by Genesis”, the 2020 GV80 will be high-tech inside the cabin as well. There will be a lot of high-end materials on the dashboard and seats, as well as a two-spoke steering wheel which provides a sportier feel. Also, the conventional buttons for the dash will be minimalistic, while the traditional gear-lever will be replaced with a rotating, jewel-like electronic gear selector. The infotainment system will also come with a standalone touch-screen, along with a digital instrument panel.

As for motorization, it is believed that the 2020 Genesis GV80 would first come with a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6 offered with 274 horsepower and 589 Nm of torque, and hooked to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Later on, the South Korean carmaker would also introduce a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder, developing 300 horsepower and 422 Nm of torque. Both engines will be sold in the United States.

Not long ago, Genesis also announced the introduction of the G90 in the large luxury sedan segment, the model becoming thus a worthy competitor for the new BMW 7-Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Audi A8.

The 2020 Genesis G90 is a completely new car, and the changes are instantly visible at the exterior. Thanks to the company`s new design language called “Athletic Elegance”, the luxury sedan looks more mature yet retains the same classic stance.

Inside, things are brought to a whole new level, thanks to the high-end materials and technology at its best. And yes, it is the same technology you can find on the new 7-Series or brand-new Audi A8, only it comes standard. So, you don’t have to cash in for additional features. Standard is the 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along the plethora of safety features, also coming as standard. These include rear cross traffic alert, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, or Safe Exit Assist, the latter one waning the driver of oncoming traffic when the door is open. There is also the manufacturer`s Highway Driving Assist system with adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist, both being semi-autonomous systems that keep track of bumper-to-bumper traffic on the highway.
