Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video review of the BMW iX3:The BMW iX3 is an X3 with an electric drive train. The car is quick and responsive to the driver. The design and technology reflect a typical BMW. An EV may not top the list when one car needs to do everything, though. The iX3 batteries are liquid-cooled, and it has a 286-horsepower engine with 400 Newton meters of torque. 0-100 kilometers/hour in Eco Pro and Sport mode occurs in 6.8 seconds. With a full charge, the car will achieve about 460 kilometers.
This model has adaptive recuperation, so the camera senses an upcoming traffic light, the speed limit, and turns. As the driver coasts toward the intersection or turn signal on, the iX3 begins to slow down.
The sound proofing is good in this EV. The steering and suspension are well tuned, and the handling in corners is excellent. The test route showed an energy usage of about 21-kilowatt hours for every 100 kilometers.
What’s wrong with the car? The tester wants the charging cables put in a “frunk.” With its current infrastructure, people should always carry a 230-volt and Type-Two cable. The actual braking is difficult to judge with recuperation turned on. Suspension and mass make braking a dramatic experience.
The BMW’s EV strategy and the naming scheme can be confusing. The vehicle’s exterior is identical to that of the X3. There's a large empty space under the bonnet. The rear seating area isn't the most generous in its class. Physical AC and radio controls are appreciated, with other settings managed on the infotainment display. For now, it lacks all-wheel drive. The basic model starts at 66,000 EUR. The review stated 0 to 100 km is faster than BMW claims, about 6.49km. Overall, it’s a good EV choice with driver focus.
