Overview

• Launch iX3 50 xDrive features dual motors rated at about 469 bhp, a 108.7 kWh cylindrical‑cell battery, 0–100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, and a WLTP range of up to roughly 805 km.
• An 800‑volt system enables up to 400 kW DC charging, adding about 372 km in 10 minutes and targeting a 10–80% charge in 21 minutes, with 11 kW AC standard and 22 kW available.
• The new electronics architecture consolidates control into four high‑performance computers, including the ‘Heart of Joy’ unit that coordinates drivetrain, braking, recuperation and steering.
• Panoramic iDrive debuts as the primary interface with a full‑width under‑windshield display, a central touchscreen running BMW Operating System X, and support for bidirectional charging (V2L/V2H/V2G).
• Production is scheduled to start in late 2025 at BMW’s renewables‑powered Debrecen plant, with Europe deliveries in spring 2026, U.S. in summer 2026, a China‑built version from mid‑2026, and a reported European starting price around €68,900.
