WE DROVE THE BMW IX3: IT'S BMW'S BEST ELECTRIC CAR EVER | REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The BMW iX3 is presented as BMW's most significant EV to date, built on the new 'Noya Classic' platform designed exclusively for electric powertrains. The review highlights its impressive 400-mile estimated range and 400 kW charging capability, facilitated by an 800-volt architecture. Key features praised include the innovative Panoramic Vision Display, a mostly flat rear floor for improved passenger space, and a surprisingly practical frunk. On the road, the iX3 is lauded for its refined driving dynamics, exceptionally smooth regenerative braking that eliminates head jerk, and agile handling, feeling lighter than its size suggests. The new infotainment system, 'OSX', is responsive, though the climate control integrated into the screen may be a point of contention for some. The vehicle also boasts bidirectional charging capabilities and an AI-powered charging flap for convenience. While the iX3 is positioned as BMW's best EV, its starting price of around $60,000, higher than its gasoline counterpart, and the absence of US tax credits present market challenges.
