The 2027 BMW iX3 is making its debut in the US market, and it’s turning heads with its surprising starting price. Priced at $62,850 including shipping, the iX3 is actually cheaper than its gas-powered counterpart, the BMW X3 M50 xDrive, which starts at $67,850. This move is a positive sign for the affordability of electric vehicles in the US, where EVs typically come with a higher price tag compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.
BMW’s decision to price the iX3 competitively is a step in the right direction for making EVs more accessible to a wider range of consumers. While BMW is known as a luxury brand, offering additional packages such as a comfort package, M sport package, and technology package can push the price of the iX3 higher, making it more comparable to the outgoing iX electric vehicle.
One of the standout features of the iX3 is its impressive range. With standard 20-inch all-season tires, the EV can travel an estimated 383 miles on a single charge. Opting for summer tires can boost that range to an impressive 434 miles, according to the EPA’s standard. This range puts the iX3 in a competitive position among other electric vehicles on the market.
In terms of performance, the iX3 is no slouch either. It features a dual motor, all-wheel drive setup that delivers 463 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque. The iX3 can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds, putting it on par with the X3 in terms of performance.
Overall, the 2027 BMW iX3 is a compelling option for those looking to make the switch to electric vehicles. With its attractive price point, impressive range, and solid performance, the iX3 is sure to attract a new wave of BMW enthusiasts. Customers can now start configuring their iX3 on BMW’s website, with deliveries expected to begin in September.
