BMW iX3
5 (1 Reviews)
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.

It isn't trying to outshine flashier rivals — instead it stakes its claim on reliability and friendly simplicity, making it a sensible, slightly cheeky choice for buyers who want an EV that behaves like a Subaru.
