I Drove The 2027 BMW iX3. Here's Why It'll Be A Hit
"There's good news and bad news about the all-new 2027 BMW iX3. On the one hand, it's unequivocally BMW's best electric vehicle everan SUV brimming with new technology and designed from the ground up to, as the company says, skip a generation. It's the best shot the German automaker has to get on the same technological level as Tesla, Rivian and the Chinese."
"Meanwhile, here comes the iX3, promising 400 miles of range, some of the fastest charging seen on any modern EV, better software updates, superior packaging and an all-around better EV experience than what came before. The big question, then, is whether BMW's finest electric car yet will be sunk by America's retreat on EVsor help to turn things around. After spending some time with the SUV in Spain last month, I'm convinced it's the latter."
"The iX3 is a midsize electric crossover that represents a top-to-bottom rethink of how the company makes electric cars. It's the first BMW to use the company's new Neue Klasse platform. Dozens of cars with various fuel sources will leverage part or all of this next-gen technology stack. But it all breaks cover first in the iX3: an 800-volt architecture, a powerful computing system, denser batteries, the whole nine."
The 2027 BMW iX3 is a midsize electric crossover built on the new Neue Klasse platform, representing a complete rethink of BMW's EV engineering. The vehicle features an 800-volt electrical architecture, denser battery cells, a powerful onboard computing system, and improved software update capabilities. The iX3 targets roughly 400 miles of range and very fast 10%-80% charging times, with an estimated U.S. base price near $60,000 and a 108.7 kWh battery. U.S. policy changes removing EV incentives have depressed sales and complicated market timing, but the iX3 aims to compete with Tesla, Rivian and Chinese rivals.
