BMW announced the 2027 BMW iX3 50 xDrive will start at $61,500, plus a $1,350 destination and handling charge, when it arrives in the U.S. market in September.

The iX3 is the first series-production Neue Klasse model and features BMW’s new Panoramic iDrive system powered by BMW Operating System X, an 800V architecture, and what the automaker calls the “Heart of Joy” driving control system.

BMW said the iX3 50 xDrive is capable of up to 434 miles of range, depending on wheel and tire configuration.

The automaker also launched an online configurator on BMWUSA.com, allowing customers to customize and reserve vehicles with a $1,000 deposit through participating retailers. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in late September.

Range and Charging Capability

The iX3 uses sixth-generation BMW eDrive technology, including updated electric motors, redesigned high-voltage batteries with cylindrical cells, and an 800V electrical architecture.

BMW said the updated system reduces energy losses by 40%, lowers weight by 10%, and cuts manufacturing costs by 20% compared to the previous-generation eDrive system.

Estimated range and efficiency figures include:

BMW said the iX3 can add an estimated 185 miles of range in 10 minutes at compatible 800V DC fast chargers, with charging from 10% to 80% taking about 21 minutes through the standard NACS charging port.
