BMW iX3 (2021-2025) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Comfortable ride, thank to adaptive suspension	The ix3 is pricier and slower than a Tesla Model Y
Impressive real-world range	A Ford Mustang Mach-E is more practical and costs less
Generous equipment	Not as appealing to keen drivers as a Jaguar I-Pace

Quick Summary

The BMW iX3 (2021-2025) is a mid-sized, pure-electric family SUV built on the same platform as the standard BMW X3. It offers an official WLTP range of 285 miles from an 80kWh battery, delivering 282bhp to the rear wheels. It maintains a familiar SUV aesthetic rather than adopting unconventional EV styling, and is very practical with ample space for passengers and a 510-litre boot, though it lacks a 'frunk'. The interior boasts high-quality materials and excellent build quality, providing a premium feel typical of BMW.

Driving the iX3 is a reassuringly ordinary experience for an EV, with seamless power delivery and a direct-drive automatic gearbox. Its well-weighted steering and standard adaptive suspension contribute to a comfortable ride and confident handling. The iX3 comes generously equipped, even in its base M Sport trim, featuring a panoramic glass roof, leather upholstery, heated electric seats, and advanced infotainment. Running costs are significantly lower than petrol/diesel equivalents, despite a higher initial purchase price, and it is expected to retain its value well.

Best for: Buyers seeking a practical, comfortable, and well-built electric family SUV with a good range, generous equipment, and low running costs.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum performance, needing a 'frunk' for cable storage, or those on a tighter budget compared to some rivals.

You should buy the iX3 if: You're looking for a practical, comfortable, and well-built electric family SUV with a good range, generous equipment, and low running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum performance, need a 'frunk' for cable storage, or are on a tighter budget compared to some rivals.

Competitive Position: The BMW iX3 is a strong contender in the electric family SUV market, offering a sophisticated blend of daily usability, impressive dynamics, and premium quality. While it faces stiff competition from the faster Tesla Model Y, the more practical Ford Mustang Mach-E, and the more engaging Jaguar I-Pace, its generous equipment levels, comfortable ride, and excellent build quality make it a highly desirable choice for those seeking a posh electric SUV.
