The BMW iX3, sold between September 2021 and October 2024, marked the brand’s electric entry into the mid-size SUV segment. Featuring a 74.0 kWh usable battery, the iX3 delivers a real-world range of 385 km, though ideal conditions can push this up to 560 km in city driving.
It features a rear-wheel drive setup powered by a 210 kW (286 PS) electric motor, generating 400 Nm of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds, with a top speed of 180 km/h, making it well-suited for both city and highway travel.
Charging is handled efficiently with 11 kW AC charging (full in 8 hours) and 155 kW DC fast charging, reaching 10–80% in 31 minutes. The iX3 supports Autocharge, enabling streamlined charging sessions at compatible stations, but lacks Plug & Charge functionality.
The SUV offers a cargo capacity of 510 liters (expanding to 1560 L), a heat pump as standard for climate efficiency, and a towing capacity of 750 kg braked and unbraked. The BMW CLAR platform ensures a solid ride, while standard safety features and Isofix seating provide family practicality.
