BMW iX3

The 2027 iX3 isn’t just an electric version of the small X3 SUV--it's a fresh start for BMW's EVs, riding on a new platform specifically designed for electric vehicles that will be used in future models. Its BMW-estimated 434 miles of driving range will place the iX3 among the highest-range EVs in production, and its 800-volt architecture enables a 400 kW maximum charging rate, giving it the ability to to go from a 10 to 80 percent state of charge in as little as 21 minutes. The primary version is the iX3 50 xDrive, whose dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain is good for 463 hp. A second version, the iX3 40 xDrive, goes on sale in early 2027 with a range slightly over 300 miles. A high performance 603-hp M60 xDrive will also be available in early 2027. A single-motor, rear-wheel-drive model and other, to-be-announced versions will go on sale at a later date. The iX3 is a thoroughly connected car, with a new operating system, redesigned display layout with a giant 17.9-inch central touchscreen, and in-car assistants designed to learn user preferences over time.
