iX3 surpasses Burner: 7 key factors explained
In September 2025, BMW unveiled the iX3, the first model of its new electrification and digitalization strategy, the "New Class." This premium SUV, one of the best-selling in its category over the last 20 years, now surpasses conventionally powered models in all key areas.
The iX3's manufacturing process is more sustainable than its predecessor, the X3, with the use of materials such as PET fabric, CO2-reduced steel, and resource-saving battery production. This shift towards a greener production process improves the climate balance compared to the X3 with an internal combustion engine.
But the iX3's environmental benefits extend beyond its production. During daily use, the iX3 contributes to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the X3 with a diesel or gasoline engine, especially as the share of renewable energies increases. Moreover, the iX3 produces zero local emissions during operation.
The iX3's maintenance costs are also lower due to its fewer moving parts compared to a conventional car like the X3. This results in less wear and a more relaxed driving experience.
The iX3 is not just a greener and more efficient vehicle; it's also a smart one. It features standard integrated bidirectional charging, enabling it to feed power back into the grid and contribute to power supply stabilization.
Moreover, the iX3's digital configurator is a significant upgrade from the classic X3 configurator. It offers an interactive, 3D view of the car, providing a more emotional and transparent car buying experience.
Owners of the iX3 can also benefit financially through participation in the Vehicle-to-Grid offer with E.ON. This can earn iX3 owners up to 720 euros per year, equivalent to around 14,000 kilometers of free driving.
Lastly, the iX3 operates vibration-free due to its electric motors, eliminating the need for engine oil. This, combined with its sustainability benefits and smart features, makes the iX3 a compelling choice for those seeking a premium SUV that's kind to the environment and their wallet.
