Why you’d want one
- A familiar SUV shape with electric propulsion.
Know before you buy
- Battery health: request a state-of-health report
- Check charging port and on-board charger function
- Heavier than combustion equivalents; tyres wear faster

Electric drive in a familiar X shape.
The retained G08 iX3 uses one rear electric drive unit. It belongs to an earlier generation than the Neue Klasse iX3, so their specifications must remain separate.
A familiar SUV shape with electric propulsion.
Confirm generation before comparing range or charging figures.
This G08 iX3 is rear-wheel drive.
eDrive · Rear-wheel drive
Fifth-generation electrically excited synchronous motor drives the rear wheels. A high-voltage lithium-ion battery sits in the floor. Regenerative braking uses the motor as a generator during deceleration.
BMW i3 electric drive unit shown in 2013. System reference: later i4, i5, i7 and iX drive units have different generations, motors and installation.
Electric drive
Fifth-generation electrically excited synchronous motor drives the rear wheels. A high-voltage lithium-ion battery sits in the floor. Regenerative braking uses the motor as a generator during deceleration.
High-voltage battery
Factory battery energy: 80 kWh gross and 74 kWh usable. Gross capacity includes energy outside the usable operating window. These figures belong to the specification year shown.
Recover energy while slowing down
The drive motor can act as a generator during deceleration. It converts some motion energy into electrical energy for the battery. Recovery depends on traction, battery charge and operating conditions; friction brakes are still required.
Fixed-ratio drive
This electric powertrain uses fixed-ratio reduction gearing instead of a multi-speed manual gearbox. There is no petrol-engine idle, turbocharger or exhaust muffler.
