The BMW iX3 brings BMW's familiar SUV poise into the electric era, blending restrained styling and a comfortable, composed ride that will please traditionalists dipping their toes into electrification. It's quiet, practical and rather grown-up about going electric — a sensible choice for buyers who want BMW driving manners without the drama.
