BMW has revealed the new iX3, the first series-produced model to feature the brand's new 'Neue Klasse' platform architecture and design language.
Now available to order in Ireland, the iX3 also debuts BMW's sixth-generation eDrive technology. This comprises highly efficient electric motors, new high-voltage batteries, and 800-volt technology. BMW claims that a single charge range of up to 805km and a maximum charging rate of 400kW can be achieved with the new technology.
The BMW iX3 50 xDrive sits on a 108.7kWh battery which is powered by two electric motors, which together generate an output of 469hp and 645Nm of torque. Speed of 0-100km/h takes 4.9 seconds while its top speed is 290km/h.
The new iX3 will be available in Ireland in three trim levels: iX3, iX3 M Sport and iX3 M Sport Pro, each offering a comprehensive range of standard equipment.
Key standard features include 20-inch alloy wheels, under-bonnet storage, an electrically operated charging flap, heated front seats with electric adjustment, Driving Assistant Plus with automatic cruise control, and charging capabilities of 400kW DC/11kW AC.
Priced from €73,925, first Irish customer deliveries of the BMW iX3 50 xDrive are scheduled for March 7, 2026.
