Overview
- BMW USA, which quietly raised the iX3 xDrive50 range estimate to 434 miles on Wednesday, now lists 400 miles again on the product page.
- Both figures are BMW’s own estimates rather than EPA-certified ratings, and the company warns the number could change after official testing.
- U.S. reservations open May 6, and BMW still targets late September or early October for first customer deliveries from its Debrecen, Hungary plant.
- The dual-motor launch model uses an 800‑volt system and a 108.7 kWh battery with up to 400 kW DC fast charging that BMW says can charge from 10% to 80% in about 21 minutes.
- Independent tester Bjørn Nyland logged a 1,000 km highway run in 8 hours 55 minutes in the iX3, his best result for any electric SUV and a sign of strong long‑distance performance.
