BMW iX3: Redefining Electric Luxury with German Engineering Excellence

As BMW’s first domestically produced electric mid-size SUV, the BMW iX3 leverages the CLAR platform to integrate the fifth-generation eDrive technology with a century of driving expertise, creating an electric vehicle that balances performance and practicality. Its 80kWh liquid-cooled ternary lithium battery delivers up to 540km of CLTC-rated range, supported by 150kW ultra-fast charging that replenishes 0-80% in 45 minutes. Even in sub-zero temperatures, the range retention exceeds 75%, eliminating range anxiety.

Design-wise, the iconic kidney grille features blue accents, paired with a 0.29Cd aerodynamic body and 20-inch airflow-optimized wheels, blending sportiness with futuristic aesthetics. The interior boasts a 12.3-inch dual-screen setup and iDrive 8.0 system, with standard L2 autonomous driving, tri-zone climate control, and 11-color ambient lighting. The Premier Edition upgrades to a Harman Kardon 16-speaker sound system and AR-HUD navigation, elevating the tech experience.

Performance is driven by a rear-mounted synchronous motor delivering 286Ps, achieving 0-100km/h in 6.8 seconds. The rear-wheel-drive layout, enhanced by ARB anti-slip control, ensures precise handling and BMW’s signature “driver-centric” dynamics. The 510L trunk expands to 1,560L, accommodating versatile travel needs.
