9 Sep
Summary
- BMW's new iX3 EV to have 500-mile range
- Future variants could reach up to 600-mile range
- Priced under £60,000, cheaper than rivals
In a move that is sure to shake up the electric vehicle (EV) market, BMW has unveiled its new iX3 SUV, which is set to offer the longest range of any EV sold in the UK. Scheduled for delivery to British customers starting from March 2026, the iX3 will be able to travel an astonishing 500 miles on a single charge.
But BMW isn't stopping there. The company has also announced plans to introduce a rear-wheel-drive variant of the iX3 later in 2026, which is expected to have an even more impressive range of around 600 miles. This figure would effectively eliminate any lingering concerns about "range anxiety" among EV buyers.
Priced at £59,775, the iX3 is significantly cheaper than rival electric SUVs like the Porsche Macan EV and Tesla's Model Y Performance. This, combined with its unparalleled range, is sure to make the iX3 a highly attractive proposition for eco-conscious drivers in the UK.
The new iX3 is part of BMW's Neue Klasse project, which has resulted in a complete overhaul of the vehicle's chassis, EV architecture, software, and drivetrain. The all-wheel-drive launch version delivers a powerful 463 horsepower and can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 130 mph.
With its minimalist styling, plush cabin, and family-friendly practicality, the iX3 is poised to become a standout choice in the rapidly evolving EV market.
