The new BMW iX3 is already outselling luxury EV rivals

BMW’s former CEO, Oliver Zipse, told investors during the company’s annual meeting in March that the new iX3 “has been extremely successful” since its debut.

In just six months, the electric SUV received over 50,000 orders, Zipse said. According to early sales data from Dataforce (via Automotive News), BMW’s new iX3 was the top-selling EV in its segment in April, a month after deliveries began.

BMW iX3 sales surged 171% through April, reaching 10,299 in total. It even topped the Audi Q4 e-tron to become the most popular EV in its class.

Through April 2026, the iX3 is now outselling the Polestar 4 (8,925) and the Audi Q5 Sportback (8,580).

BMW introduced the new entry-level iX3 40 last month, starting at just €63,400 ($73,000) in Germany with a WLTP range of 628 km (390 miles). That’s even cheaper than the X3 plug-in hybrid (€66,900).

The iX3 50 xDrive is priced from €73,925 ($85,200). It’s powered by a 108.7 kWh battery pack, providing a WLTP range of up to 805 km (500 miles).

Based on BMW’s sixth-generation eDrive (Gen6) 800V architecture, the iX3 50 xDrive delivers up to 469 hp (345 kW) and 645 Nm of torque. With a DC charging capacity of up to 400 kW, the electric SUV can add 373 km (231 miles) of range in as little as 10 minutes.

The interior features BMW’s new Panoramic iDrive system with a 17.9″ central infotainment screen, and a 43″ Panoramic Vision display that spans the entire base of the windshield.

In the US, the new BMW iX3 50 xDrive is available to order starting at $61,500 with an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 434 miles.
