Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Fun to drive,
fun to look at, practical enough.
Excellent range and charging.
A Very Good electric car

It’s a bit big - you have to think full-size SUV when parking -
could be a bit odd-looking for some,
not exactly cheap

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Stylish design inside and out
Good to drive
Fast charging and clever vehicle-to-load tech

Cons
Firmer ride than some alternatives

The boot could be larger

By: 
carwow.co.uk

comfy and roomy inside.

Cons
Infotainment system has some drawbacks,
lacks game-changing driving range,
small front trunk space.

BMW's second full-electric car is a little more 'normal', a pragmatic EV that can go a long way on a charge

Pros
Goes a long way,
quietly on relatively little electricity

Cons
Doesn't explore electric packaging possibilities.
Not 4WD

The BMW iX3 is good to drive and practical, with a better range than rivals, namely the Audi E-tron and Mercedes EQC. It also has a fab infotainment system and a smart interior, so it’s a fine buy if you’re looking for a big electric SUV.

Pros
Longer range than most direct rivals
Great infotainment system
Comparatively well priced

Cons
Not as fast as rivals
Audi E-tron is quieter
Tesla Model 3 has a longer range and faster charging

By: 
whatcar.com

Pros
Drives like a BMW should
Looks won't alienate EV newbies
Impressive range and performance

Cons
High price and costly options
No lower-powered versions
Facelift models have already appeared
