The 2022 BMW iX3 is built in China as a fully-electric version of the very popular BMW X3 midsize SUV (or compact crossover depending on where you live). The X3 has petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid engine options and it now has a battery-electric iX3 variant. Interestingly, the iX3 is only available in single-motor RWD unlike the Audi e-tron and Mercedes-Benz EQC which are both dual-motor AWD electric SUVs.

Still, don’t write off the iX3. In today’s episode of Chasing Cars, deputy editor Nathan Ponchard finds that this SUV is remarkably good to drive, riding comfortably and offering a surprising turn of speed plus balanced rear-drive dynamics.

The iX3 costs $114,900 in Australia (making it pretty expensive), while producing 210kW of power (281 hp) and 400Nm of torque. Using a 74kWh usable battery, the iX3 provides 453-461km of range (WLTP) and offers 155kW DC rapid charging.
