Elektromobilität: 100.000 Bestellungen für den BMW iX3 allein in Europa

Das erste Modell der für BMW wichtigen Neuen Klasse setzt einen neuen Konzernrekord für das erste Jahr. Auch bei den europäischen Elektroauto-Bestellungen schneidet der iX3 gut ab.

Elektromobilität: 100.000 Bestellungen für den BMW iX3 allein in Europa

Elektromobilität has seen a surge in interest, with BMW reporting 100,000 orders for the iX3 in Europe alone, just one year after its debut. This marks the best start for any model in the company's history. The Munich-based automaker's Vertriebsvorstand, Jochen Goller, hailed this as a "great start for the new class, whose rollout is gaining momentum."

He expressed optimism for the future of electromobility. BMW plans to introduce 40 new and revised models featuring New Class technologies by the end of 2027. The iX3's success is significant, accounting for about one-third of all electric vehicle orders in Europe since its launch. Within the X3 family, electric models make up roughly half of all orders, a substantial increase compared to industry averages.

Globally, BMW delivered nearly 2.17 million vehicles last year, with 336,000 of those being pure electric cars. This achievement is remarkable, especially when compared to Volkswagen's recent order figures for the ID. Polo, which stand at 30,000 – a model that has only been available for order since April.
