iX3 50 xDrive (MY26)

The BMW iX3 50 xDrive (MY26) is a 5-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £61,575. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds, quicker than 73% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 401 miles (645 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it 6th of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK for range, and 2nd of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.7 mi/kWh (169 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 108.7 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 230 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 488 miles (785 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £154 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £35,100–£40,000, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 393 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
