They have always used blue for their Eco modes. My 2012 1 series dash goes all blue when you put it in the (terrible) eco+ mode, so suppose it's consistent.
Effort has been placed into the cars design. Although not highlighted here, youll get very good ecconomy long term from the vehicle, under 20 kwh/100km. If you check out the specs, youll find that it weighs between 200-400 kg less than the EQC and etron. Easier said than done. The frunk may come later.
after having checked several reviews of the IX3, I have to say that this car is one of the most efficient EV' s on the market. I am very surprised you scored such a bad result. I believe that this car can really score the WLTP range of 460 km at a speed of 130 km/h on the highway. Even smaller cars use 4 to 5 kw/h more at this speed. Please consider also that the outside temperature has a major impact on the consumption. Otherwise the sound and the blue color do not need to be ordered, you can order the car without them.
I like those blue trim bits, it makes a clear difference from the normal x3 And because I don't like electric cars so much I'm happy that they made it this way so if I see one in real life I'd be able to differentiate it quicker from the standard x3 Either way those blue bits still look good in my opinion
Not my thing but I like that this is a just a car that happens to use electric. Unlike EQC etc. it doesn't look like it came from space. Just a regular x3
Surprised it didn't get shortlisted. It's a pretty great all rounder, efficient and fun to drive. The rear wheel drive is an advantage most of the time and actual buttons for main functions make it a great introduction to EVs.
@@countryside_guy not really. It saves cost for them and the buyer. They already have developed the drivetrain, they have the X3 body so why not merge them?
@@countryside_guy Not really, you don't see them redesigning the X3's design for the desiel powertrain so why should they redesign the electric version, it's just a different powertrain no need for new designs. Using the same design also saves on costs making the vehicle cheaper.
@@shimeih2287 They are not the first to put batteries in an ICE body (that's how it was pre Tesla) but an electric car designed from the ground up will always be better.
@@Ven100, if you invest your resources into the drivetrain instead of a new chassis, the car won't necessarily be worse, than a EV design with a less sophisticated drivetrain.
Regarding the lack of 4x4... How many use their X3 for off-roading..? RWD is enough for 99% of all owners. Wouldn't mind a bit more power tho. Maybe just the 340hp motor from the i4 would do?
Not sure why its being compared to the Merc or Audi as they are based on a electric platform from the start, where as the BMW ix3 is based on a petrol variant (X3) like the Peugeot e2008 is a 2008 or MG eZS is a ZS.
Couldn’t agree more regarding the blue decals. Why do all companies think they need to do this to highlight the fact it an electric vehicle. Just leave as standard..

@@ON-O And thats the exact same mistake Mercedes made with the EQC... Its insane how so many legacy car manufacturers thinks converting an ICE vehicle to a BEV will give a good result. It literally never does, and never will.
@@TheGamingNorwegian Those are called compliance cars. I was expecting this to be as good as any other compliance car, but it's surprisingly good, and it has good range, considering it's as aerodynamic as a brick.
@@TheGamingNorwegian Well, Audi didn't with the e-tron and that's not really any better than the EQC.. So it all comes down to execution of the change from combustion-engine to electric-engine.
Matt, the blue bits are very important, because if I'm driving an electric X3 that looks the same as the gasoline X3 then how will people know that I'm better than them?
i see why you waited till the end for range lol efficiency is key the problem is the range cut from the cold weather, heated seats and heated cabin(no heat pump) , battery temp , dense air ,
The problem is taking a 20 mile average including several stand stills in the cold for calculating a range, that is necessary only on highway driving. I wonder, if more energy was needed to reheat the battery than for driving.
It's great that BMW hasn't ruined the looks of all its new cars. This actually looks very nice and the new M3 and M4 should have been similar as well, but it is what it is.
I want an X3 PHV, but they turned down the power of the gas engine, why? Why why would they take a 248hp motor and turn it down? I want the EV around town and HP for the open road that is exciting. They should stick with PHV until they have a battery that works for them. It would have been money better spent anding range and performance to the PHV. Maybe they need to look at a RAV4 Prime for ideas.
I agree. Just taking the engine out and putting an electric motor and batteries in, which you can see is what was done when he opened the bonnet, is not enough. Especially when you’re asking £60-70k. The performance is 1-2s to 60 adrift of the X3 M40i, which is cheaper, plus with the range that Mat was getting it looks like the iX3 will need quite a bit of recharging and end up costing similar to run. No 4WD either. It might be worth waiting for the designed-as-electric version to come out. Getting this model now I’d expect Maserati levels of depreciation as it’s not as good as last year’s competition, let alone next year’s...
That’s exactly the reason why I like it and dislike those futuristic EV models. I had the chance to drive a iX 3 last weekend and it was excellent. A joy to drive! Silent, quick, good radius, etc…
@@JaafarAbuTaa I don't think it's possible. Tesla has problems with the supply chain, even in US it takes months for a part to be delivered and replaced, they have problems with QC and in EU they are just at the begining.
How difficult would it have been to fit a Frunk to the car? It seems like a missed opportunity to not have even bothered. If nothing else, it could have been a place to keep the charging cables without taking up any space in the boot area. Also, 3K for lumbar seats (inc in special edition)? Typical BMW.
I wish car manufacturers would make its so that you couldn’t tell it was the electric version of the car. If they looked the same they would sell more electric cars.
@@jonnyreed4718 How come? Sold out in China and more sensible people who doesn’t take an average of all days shitty driving actually found out the car over performs than it’s claimed range.
Matt why not start using a dB meter on your phone or buy one for measuring the inside of cabin levels of noise. because "this car is noisier then others" is not really technical now is it 😁. Thanks for the reviews.
If you configure it in blue it gets silver accents on the exterior, the same for red. You can resign from those anyway, no matter what colour you decide to choose. You can spec the car already on German BMW website for example.
Have one, normal driving averages 2.6 to 2.7 miles/kwh (summer time). With 74Kwh available that's about 200 realistically. If you really start trying up to 240 is possible in the summer time.
What might even had much more impact is, that the car had several longer stand stills on that day and had to reheat the battery after each. It seems like Mat doesn't really understand BEVs from a technical point of view.
@15:19 Mat you’ve missed the chance for a great quote from the series “Chernobyl”: “Not great, not terrible”, related to the 3,6 Roentgen value measured by the Geiger sensor.
Hi Mat & Carwow. Quick question. Out of all the luxury SUV’s on the market, which are the best when it comes to being most comfortable? Regardless of the upgrades? Able to deal with potholes, speed bumps and long motorway journeys. Ie is a Discovery more comfy than a Range Rover? Is an X5 more comfy than the XC90? Desperate to find the answer but all I come across is conflicting opinions. Thank you in advance.
I’ve been thinking about switching my X3 (2018) to the IX3 when it arrives but this has just helped me realise that I’m not ready for the EV leap just yet. At least not to this anyway! The rear-wheel drive thing is really disappointing- what’s the point in having a decent size SUV without being able to use 4WD?!
Real appreciation goes to Mat Watson - always ahead in his game. One suggestion: How about a drag race among Mercedes EQC, Audi E-tron, BMW iX3, Jaguar I-Pace, and Porsche Taycan...

Toyota have been using Blue for their hybrid vehicles since the early 2000's.... now BWM is stealing the idea?
They have always used blue for their Eco modes. My 2012 1 series dash goes all blue when you put it in the (terrible) eco+ mode, so suppose it's consistent.
The lack of effort in the front engine bay shows how little effort they put into that car... such a waste of space!
Yes, what is all of that stuff there if the motor is at the back? If other sedans can have a boot then an SUV should also have one.
Effort has been placed into the cars design. Although not highlighted here, youll get very good ecconomy long term from the vehicle, under 20 kwh/100km. If you check out the specs, youll find that it weighs between 200-400 kg less than the EQC and etron. Easier said than done. The frunk may come later.
that cost extra
EQC doesn't have a boot under the hood either. That is made from scratch, doesn't mean they didn't put effort in to a brand new car,
That would require a completely new platform and design.
after having checked several reviews of the IX3, I have to say that this car is one of the most efficient EV' s on the market. I am very surprised you scored such a bad result.

So... a rear wheel drive, rear-engined SUV. I.e. an SUV that's absolute shit in snow. Yeah, should sell tons.
RWD in a SUV is a deal breaker for me ((
nobody who buys an x3 will ever go offroad, they are just soccer mum cars. i think there are bigger drawbacks too it
@@JohnSmith-dg8df Driving in snow isn't 'off-roading'.
I understand the use of blue details on the i3 years ago, but surely we’ve reached the point soon where EV’s can be seen as just normal cars, not some special, fancy, futuristic gimmick.. I’m not a fan of the blue details on the iX3
Question - when you do one-pedal driving and you remove your foot to stop, does the break light come on on the rear of the car?
Yes, when the car starts to actually decelerate it comes on.

The only BMW that can be had without any M- stuff on it? They exchanged that with Avatar- stuff :)
