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’s an electric compact that puts safety and comfort front and center, while still injecting enough personality and tech-savvy charm to keep city buyers smiling.
