YaKuZa--BoSs Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 With autonomy of up to 460 kilometers, it will accelerate from 0 to 100 in 6.8 seconds and its maximum speed will be electronically limited to 180 km / h. BMW's first electric SUV will be exported worldwide from China, where it has been manufactured. Your credentials cannot be better. Debuts the fifth generation eDrive battery, with higher energy density and a capacity of 80 kWh, allowing autonomy of up to 460 kilometers under the most realistic WLTP approval cycle. The figure increases to 520 kilometers under the NEDC cycle. The new fifth generation electric motor develops a maximum power of 286 hp (210 kW) and a generous maximum torque of 400 Nm. They are the same electric motor, battery, power electronics and charging technology that will be mounted on the BMW iNext and BMW i4 from 2021. LOADING POWER The BMW iX3 will have the capacity to charge from 0 to 80% in just 34 minutes, thanks to the fact that its battery allows a charging power of up to 150 kW in fast charging stations such as those of Ionity, where BMW customers can enjoy reduced rates depending on the country (for example, 0.29 euros per kWh in Germany). With this same charging power we will only need 10 minutes to generate 100 kilometers of autonomy. Another advantage of the iX3 is that we will not have to modify our way of driving and we will be able to drive 'happily' without worrying about energy consumption, since, according to BMW, the combination of low electricity consumption and high load capacity will allow long-distance travel. at a high medium speed. The 'sprint' from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.8 seconds and the top speed electronically limited to 180 km / h demonstrate that the BMW iX3 can be very fast, if that is the intention of the driver. The level of energy regeneration allows you to choose three settings or driving modes with the gear selector in the 'D' position, but the iX3 can always be driven with the typical BMW 'one-pedal feeling' in the 'B' position on the gear selector to cause more or less engine retention until it works as a brake. INSIDE The BMW Live Cockpit Professional, with BMW Maps navigation system hosted in the cloud, and the BMW personal smart assistant are standard on the iX3, as well as the remote software update and digital charging services from BMW (BMW Connected Charging), which improve navigation planning, including recommendations for stopping to charge the battery. Like its combustion brothers, the BMW iX3 homologates a maximum of five useful places, while the boot capacity is 510 liters (40 liters less than that of the X3), although it is expandable to 1,560 liters with the seats of the second row dejected. PRICES AND EQUIPMENT The 'Inspiring' access equipment includes metallic paint, LED headlights, three-zone automatic climate control system with pre-heating and pre-conditioning, electrically operated tailgate, panoramic sunroof, Driving Assistant Professional and ambient lighting. The optional 'Impressive' equipment package includes 20-inch alloy wheels, acoustic comfort glasses, sport seats, Vernasca leather upholstery, Head-Up Display on the windshield, Parking Assistant Plus and the new sound for the electric models of BMW (BMW IconicSounds Electric), which plays when the engine is turned on and off. The starting price of the BMW iX3 in Germany will be 68,000 euros, very similar to what it will have in Spain and slightly lower than that of the Mercedes-Benz EQC (77,400 euros) or the Jaguar I-Pace (70,700 euros). The market launch will take place in China in late 2020 and the first units will arrive in Spain in the first quarter of 2021. 1 1
