The BMW iX3 Gen 1 (2020-2021) has a 80 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 243 mi on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 30.5 kWh per 100 miles (or 3.3 miles per kWh) — ranked №357 out of 695 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The BMW iX3 Gen 1 (2020-2021) can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds (ranked №386 out of 693 electric vehicles) and reach a top speed of 112 mph.

The car’s powertrain delivers up to 210 kW (282 hp) of power and 295 lb-ft of torque.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for BMW iX3 Gen 1 (2020-2021) falls between 219–267 miles, ranking it №356 out of 693 electric vehicles. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The BMW iX3 Gen 1 (2020-2021) in the USA comes with a CCS Type 2 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11 kW, resulting in approximately 33 miles of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 155 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
