Sentiment Score 66%Wh of usable capacity out of 80kWh in total. The resulting WLTP range of 286 miles matches or beats that of the Jaguar I-Pace, Audi E-Tron 50 and Mercedes-Benz EQS 400. Also standard is 150kW rapid-charging capability, so a 10-80% top-up takes as little as 32 minutes. All UK cars ordered now start from £59,730 for M Sport trim.

Pros
- Powerful engine
- Comfortable to drive
- Good range
Cons
- No front driveshafts
- Lack of infotainment tech
autocar[2]
Sentiment Score 74%The iX3 boasts many of the handling traits of BMW’s more traditional combustion-engined models. Around town, the new BMW is quite wieldy, helped by the instant torque off the line, relatively tight turning circle and ability to change direction quickly. However, out on the open road, where its rear weight bias and rear wheel-drive character really shine through, that it is at its engaging best.

Pros
- Powerful electric motor
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent handling
Cons
- Not as powerful as rivals
autoexpress[3]
Sentiment Score 75%The iX3 is a big car and the driver and front passenger will have no problem finding a comfortable position. Headroom is decent, while rear occupants benefit from plenty of legroom. BMW’s digital dials look a little fussy, but have plenty of customisation for the driver, including positioning the mapping between the speedometer and power reserve gauge. The combustion-engined BMW X3 has a 550-litre boot, while the plug-in hybrid model has a reduced 450- litre load capacity. The all-electriciX3 sits between the two, offering 510 litres of load space.

Pros
- High-quality materials
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent infotainment system
Cons
- Less power-dense than the regular X3
autoexpress[4]
Sentiment Score 74%The iX3 is based on the same platform as the petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid X3. It has more in common with models like the Mercedes EQC and Audi e-tron than it does the bespoke and electric-specific Jaguar I-Pace. Unlike its rivals, the BMW is rear, rather than all-wheel drive.

Pros
- Excellent infotainment system
- Excellent range
- Excellent handling
Cons
- Not as practical as rivals
- Cheaper than rivals
autoexpress[5]
Sentiment Score 68%BMW iX3 is a mid-size all-electric SUV. Range for both the Premier Edition and M Sport models, stands at between 279-286 miles depending on specification and wheel choice. With 282bhp, it'll do 0-62mph in 6.8 seconds, yet in our hands returned as much as 3.5mi/kWh.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Powerful diesel engine
- Good range
Cons
- Not as powerful as rivals
- Not as comfortable as rivals
carmagazine[6]
Sentiment Score 76%At 2260kgs, this is the heaviest X3 by some margin, but it also boasts the most tenacious roadholding since the massive battery stack lowers the centre of gravity by a substantial 75mm. The deletion of the combustion engine and eight-speed transmission reverses the weight distribution from a somewhat nose-heavy to a 43:57 percent rear bias. The lighter front end and the absence of any front axle propulsion duties transforms the steering which can be putty in your hands or scalpel sharp, depending on speed, driving style, surface topography, radii and ambition.

Pros
- Impressive range
- Powerful electric powertrain
- Comfortable to drive
Cons
- Lacklustre ride quality
