Overview

• BMW says the iX3’s 108.7 kWh cylindrical‑cell battery enables up to 805 km WLTP range, with an 800V system supporting up to 400 kW DC charging for a 10–80% top‑up in 21 minutes and bidirectional charging capabilities.
• A new electronics backbone features four high‑performance ‘superbrains’ — including the ‘Heart of Joy’ dynamics controller — alongside the Panoramic iDrive cockpit with full‑width Panoramic Vision and an optional 3D head‑up display.
• The launch iX3 50 xDrive uses dual motors rated at about 469 hp (345 kW) and 645 Nm, with a 0–100 km/h time of 4.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 210 km/h.
• Series production is slated to begin at BMW’s new Debrecen, Hungary plant in autumn 2025 with fossil‑free operations, with European deliveries planned for spring 2026, the U.S. in summer 2026 and a China‑specific version from Shenyang from mid‑2026.
• BMW frames the iX3 as the spearhead of a multibillion‑euro Neue Klasse rollout and a response to Tesla and fast‑rising Chinese rivals; CEO Oliver Zipse signaled pricing below €70,000 in Europe, with UK reports around £58,755 and sustainability claims including roughly one‑third secondary materials and leather‑free interiors.
