WATT MATTERS?

The new iX3 is a defining BMW EV, not just another electric SUV. Its Neue Klasse architecture brings headline claims of up to 805km WLTP and 400kW charging on the 50 xDrive, figures that could reset expectations in this class.

THE BASICS

The new range includes rear-drive iX3 40 and all-wheel-drive 50 xDrive versions, with substantially different batteries and charging limits. Australian stock and exact variant specification matter when comparing the impressive headline figures.

THE WATTCAR TAKE

The iX3 could be the BMW that makes traditional range anxiety feel outdated. But the top specification's numbers should not be mistaken for every model in the showroom.
