It boasts a range of 679 to 820km according to WLTP, and can achieve a 0-100km/h sprint in just 4.9 seconds with a top speed of 210km/h. The vehicle offers rear-wheel drive in its entry-level version, the iX3 40, with a 82.6kWh battery and 235kW of power. Inside, the vehicle features the new BMW Panoramic iDrive system, which provides a digital feast of information and controls.
