BMW iX3 2021 review: the best all-round electric SUV?

The iX3 doesn’t look nearly as space-age as the i3 or i4, but the iX3’s mix of performance and range makes it a serious rival to the likes of the Audi e-tron and Mercedes EQC.
In true BMW fashion, the iX3 gets a single motor slung over the rear axle. It produces 286hp, which is good for a 0-62mph time of 6.8 seconds, which doesn’t sound all that impressive but most EVs have more shove between 0-30mph. That does mean the iX3 feels considerably quicker than its numbers suggest. The iX3 also offers up a range of up to 285 miles, though that does take a slight dip to 282 miles if you go for the range-topping M Sport Pro package. It’s not cheap, either, coming in at £59,730. So we’re here to find out whether the X3-based electric car is strong enough to take on the very best in the EV SUV market.

[@chillout1109]

Thank you. Picking up mine in a week's time. Great car.

[@shortfattoad7317]

We get our 'face-lift' version later this week, or next if I cannot be bothered to collect it. Real world motorway speed commuting will only get you 200+/- mile range, piss poor really. But for commuting it will do. long family trips will be conducted in the real car, the Hyundai Santa Fe, now that comes with a 1000km range on a motorway with aircon running

[@camtait]

So the iX3 or an Audi Q4 e-tron? Which would you choose?

[@joey-pn3xe]

Surely the iX3 should be compared to the actual e-tron not the q4 e-tron?

[@bodrulm1]

Q4 eTron with same specs actually costs more than the iX3. The iX3 feels like a step up in interior quality and drive.

[@MrBazsi888]

people are so stupid with their weight comparison against fossil cars. lot a fossil car have 80kg fuel on board, nobody mentions.... + motor oil!

[@jano1170]

80kg of fuel? Are we talking trucks here?

[@shortfattoad7317]

yes but as you drive, the fossil 'battery' load gets lighter, the EV battery stays the same weight numbnuts! Also weight does make a difference, heavy duty tyres, more wear and tear on the tyres and the road.
