There’s been a lot of speculation about what the BMW iX3 will look like. It’s based on the combustion engine X3 platform, but will have a number of modifications to optimize its aerodynamics and improve its electric range.
The iX3 has so far been reported to have a rear-mounted electric motor that produces 282 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. It’ll also have a 74 kWh battery pack capable of powering the car for approximately 273 miles (440 km).
Early last month, the Bavarian marque announced that it had already started production of the vehicle, which is being made in China. The first customer deliveries are expected later this year.
