🔋 Battery Specs:
- 107.8 kWh pack with cylindrical NMC cells
- BMW claims it’s their most efficient EV ever

BMW 2 Series vs BMW 1 Series (2025)
Design Philosophy: Back to Proportion
Unlike rivals who went for radical EV looks, BMW has kept the iX3’s design proportional and elegant.
- Smaller, proportionate kidney grille – no oversized “bucktooth” design
- Sleek rear light strips with dagger-like elements
- Balanced stance – resembles an ICE BMW for familiarity
BMW clearly wants EVs that look like BMWs – not futuristic experiments.
Interiors: Revolutionary Yet Simple
Step inside, and the iX3 transforms expectations:
- Panoramic Vision Display – A full-width projection on the windscreen, reducing distractions.
- Minimal screens – only one central infotainment, since most info shifts to the panoramic display.
- New steering design – two-spoke horizontal with no instrument cluster blocking.
- Premium fabrics – sustainable, recyclable materials as part of BMW’s green strategy.
BMW has confirmed this Panoramic Display will feature on 40 future models (including facelifts) – not just EVs.
Rear Seat Comfort: India-Friendly
For Indian customers, back seat comfort matters. The iX3 seems ready:
- Good legroom even in standard wheelbase
- Low floor height – knees-up EV problem is reduced
- Airy cabin with a panoramic glass roof
- Rear AC vents (manual) – while front vents are screen-controlled
Expect a long-wheelbase version for India by 2027, making it even more appealing.
Launch Timeline
BMW has confirmed the iX3 will hit global markets in 2027. India will likely follow soon after, with a long-wheelbase EV sedan and SUVs on the Class platform.
The i3 (electric 3-Series) is also on its way, hinting at a complete EV lineup by BMW in the next decade.
Conclusion
The BMW iX3 Class is more than just another electric car. With 800 km range, futuristic interiors, and BMW’s most efficient EV battery tech, it signals a new era for BMW EVs.
For India, the promise of a long-wheelbase variant in 2027 makes it worth the wait.
👉 One thing is clear: BMW isn’t just building electric cars – it’s building the future of driving.
