BMW iX3 2024

Vehicle Appearance

The BMW iX3 continues the design language of the BMW brand X family, so in terms of the general outline, the BMW iX3 has many similarities with the fuel version of the X3. In the front area, the BMW brand’s iconic “double kidney” grille design appears on it, but because it is a pure electric model, the grille adopts a closed design, and the black filling color is matched with the black front surround and the decoration on both sides, which also reveals the inherent sportiness of the BMW brand.

As for the headlights, the BMW iX3 uses LED light sources, and the high and low beam lights and daytime running lights adopt an integrated design. At the same time, in terms of functions, the car is equipped with adaptive high and low beams, automatic headlights, headlight height adjustment, and delayed headlight shutdown functions.

On the side of the body, the BMW iX3 also looks very similar to the fuel version, and the overall outline is almost the same. So compared with the pure electric models of new power brands in everyone’s impression, it is not so avant-garde and individual. In terms of details, the BMW iX3 is also equipped with sporty decorative parts in front of the door panel, and the wheels are also blackened, so the entire side looks more sporty. In terms of size, the BMW iX3, which is positioned as a mid-size SUV, has a length, width and height of 4746x1891x1683mm and a wheelbase of 2864mm, which is in line with the performance of this level of vehicle.

In the rear area, the overall recognition of the BMW iX3 is also relatively high. The 3D three-dimensional floating LED taillights are quite sharp, combined with the highly recognizable C-shaped light strip and the polygonal rear diffuser, making the entire rear show a good sense of sharpness. It is worth mentioning that the BMW iX3 also creates a sense of tail exhaust on the left and right sides of the rear surround, which looks like a more individual expression, but I don’t know how many people can accept such a design.

Vehicle interior

Back in the car, the entire interior of the BMW iX3 is dominated by mocha color, with a large area of ​​soft material coverage and metal material embellishment in some areas. The overall look has a good sense of grade. However, unlike the minimalist design of the new power models that everyone is familiar with, the BMW iX3 still retains a large number of buttons in the car, and the representative chicken leg-style gear lever is also equipped, which is still practical and convenient to operate.

Intelligent configuration

In the instrument and central control area, the full LCD instrument and floating central control screen of the BMW iX3 are both 12.3 inches in size, the UI design is relatively simple, and the information display is also rich. In terms of car machine functions, the BMW iX3 system is relatively smooth and easy to use. However, in terms of car machine fluency, compared with the current mainstream new power models, the BMW iX3 still has room for improvement.

In terms of auxiliary control configuration and active and passive safety configuration, the BMW iX3 is equipped with L2-level driving assistance functions, such as active braking, lane change assistance, lane keeping assistance, and full-speed adaptive endurance.

In the seat area, the BMW iX3 is wrapped in imitation leather material, and the layout is a conventional 2+3 five-seat layout. The wrapping, filling effect and breathability of the entire seat are relatively good, reflecting the delicacy and texture of the luxury brand. In terms of functions, the front seats are all equipped with electric adjustment and leg rest adjustment, and the main driver’s seat also has a memory function. The rear seats are equipped with armrests, cup holders, etc., and its second row seats support 40:20:40 folding, which is relatively rare.

In terms of actual riding, my height is 178cm. After sitting in the main driving position and adjusting the sitting posture, there is still 1 fist + 2 fingers left in the head space. After keeping the main driving seat still and sitting in the second row, there is 1 fist left in the head space and 1 fist 4 fingers left in the legs. Overall, the riding space of the BMW iX3 is not spacious, but there is no big problem for daily household use.

Storage space

For the trunk, the BMW iX3 has not announced the specific volume. However, in terms of regularity, the performance of the BMW iX3 is still remarkable. At the same time, in terms of functions, the BMW iX3 is also equipped with the mainstream electric tailgate and electric tailgate position memory, and the induction tailgate needs to be optional. In addition, its seats are flexible when folded down, so its practicality is also quite good.

Power system

In terms of the core power system, the BMW iX3 is equipped with a rear-mounted DC/synchronous motor with a maximum power of 210kW and a maximum torque of 400N·m. While retaining the driving pleasure of the rear-wheel drive model, it also guarantees the power output of the vehicle. Driven by this motor, the official 0-100km/h acceleration score of the BMW iX3 is 6.8 seconds. According to the data tested by the DoCar platform, the 2021 leading model equipped with the same power has an actual 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6.42 seconds, which is faster than the official data; at the same time, the car’s 100-0km/h braking distance is 37.01 meters, and the elk test speed is 77km/h. Overall, the performance is quite good.

The battery pack can achieve a pure electric range of 550 kilometers, which is basically the middle level of this level and can meet the needs of daily travel. It is worth mentioning that the BMW iX3 is also equipped with a charging pile, which is quite generous.
