¹The BMW iX3 is a battery electric vehicle requiring mains electricity for charging. WLTP electric range for the new BMW iX3 model range: 421 to 500 miles. Whilst we recommend the battery is charged to 80% to help optimise the health and life of your battery, the electric range figure shown is the WLTP figure after the battery had been fully charged to 100%. Model shown is the BMW iX3 50 xDrive M Sport with up to 492 mile range. WLTP figures are shown for comparability purposes. Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load.
