The 2027 BMW iX3 arrives as the first production model of BMW’s Neue Klasse platform, and at BMW of Northwest Arkansas, we believe it signals where electric driving is headed next. This is not an incremental update; every system, from the battery to the dashboard, was reengineered from the ground up. Learn more here.

Extended Range, Faster Charging

Range anxiety becomes far less relevant once you see the numbers. The 2027 BMW iX3 50 xDrive is rated for up to 434 miles on a single charge, backed by a 112.2 kWh battery built with advanced cylindrical cells. Thanks to 800-volt architecture, DC Fast Charging can push the battery from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 21 minutes, so a lunch stop is plenty of time to keep going.

Power and Technology Working Together

Under the hood, dual electric motors combine for 463 horsepower and 476 lb-ft of torque, paired with xDrive® all-wheel drive for confident control in any condition. Inside, the BMW Panoramic Vision display and BMW Operating System X put navigation, charging status, and drive modes within easy reach. Behind the scenes, the Heart of Joy computing architecture unifies drivetrain, braking, and traction control for sharper, more responsive handling.

Bidirectional charging technology also lets the 2027 BMW iX3 act as a power source at home, feeding energy back into your house or powering your devices when needed. It is a glimpse of how electric vehicles are becoming active partners in daily life, not just efficient transportation.
