The peculiar thing about EVs is that they tend to look like spaceships. Whether it’s to tout their impressive packaging or to visually communicate them at being at the bleeding edge of tech, they stand out. This is great for some, but for others who don’t want to daily drive something that looks like an extra from Star Trek, thankfully BMW’s come to the rescue with the BMW iX3.
In a bit of clever, BMW engineered the X3 from the get-go to take on a variety of powertrains, including this all-electric one. With that, there are no compromises except for the lower ride height . The battery size itself, at 80 kWh is run-of-the-mill for its segment, but thanks to an energy-dense construction, delivers 460 kilometers between charges; that’s about 10 kilometers more than the Lexus RZ which is equipped with a larger battery and riding on a purpose-built EV platform.
The iX3 may have the classic BMW rear-wheel drive architecture, but don’t expect it to drift or oversteer through corners. Instead, it’s all about being effortlessly agile and fast without becoming out of hand. With steel springs and adaptive dampers, it’s actually fun to toss around, easily belittling its 2.2-ton weight.
Ergonomics is tough to fault thanks to a logically arranged dashboard with proper knobs and buttons. The driving position is also spot-on. The iDrive system also remains one of the best in the business and is accessible either via a rotary controller between the front seats or via the 10.25-inch touchscreen. There are electric-specific menus and screens, but otherwise it’s very much standard BMW fare.
