BMW iX3 traveled 702 km in real range test

The BMW iX3 achieved well above the official EPA rating in real-world range testing. For example, in Edmunds testing, a 2027 BMW iX3 50 xDrive (with 22-inch summer tires) went 436 miles (about 702 km) on a single charge. It also beat the EPA estimate of 392 miles (631 km) by 44 miles (71 km).

EPA is the official institution that announces the range and consumption values ​​of vehicles in the USA. However, in daily driving, the results may differ from these values. Therefore, independent tests are an important reference for the reader.

BMW iX3 Outperformed Its Rivals in the Test

The iX3 is the longest-range luxury electric SUV Edmunds has ever tested. In comparison, the 2027 Volvo EX60 did 352 miles (566 km), while the Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric did 392 miles (631 km). Thus, BMW surpassed both of its competitors by a wide margin.

Moreover, the vehicle performed better than promised in terms of energy consumption. It used 28.3 kWh per 100 miles, or about 17.6 kWh per 100 kilometers. Whereas the EPA estimate is 32 kWh per 100 miles, or about 19.9 kWh per 100 kilometers. Therefore, the difference is approximately 11.6 percent.

The Edmunds test was also designed to give results that approximate everyday use. For example, 60 percent of driving is in the city and 40 percent is on the highway. Average speed is 40 miles (64 km) per hour. Additionally, the vehicle stays within 5 miles (8 km) per hour of the road speed limit. On the other hand, the air conditioner is set to automatic at 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 Celsius).

BMW iX3 Range and Charging Values

The iX3 uses BMW's sixth-generation (Gen6) eDrive 800V system. First, the EPA estimate is 434 miles (698 km) on 20-inch summer tires with a 108.7 kWh battery. On the other hand, for 22-inch summer tires, this value drops to 392 miles (631 km). Still enough for a week's worth of commuting.

DC fast charging support up to 400 kW

Range gain of 170-185 miles (274-298 km) in 10 minutes

Charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in approximately 21 minutes

Additionally, according to a national survey conducted by BMW in the United States, 73 percent of respondents find 75 miles (121 km) or less sufficient for daily driving. On the other hand, 42 percent want a range of at least 300 miles (483 km) to consider an electric vehicle. Additionally, 53 percent say they would be more positive if approximately 150 miles (241 km) could be added in 10 minutes.

Neue Klasse Interior and Prices

Inside is Neue Klasse design. This also includes BMW's new Panoramic Vision system, i.e. an instrument display that covers the entire width of the windshield. Additionally, Operating System X runs on the 17.9-inch central screen. Moreover, those who want can also purchase the optional BMW 3D Head-Up Display option.
