On November 20, 2020, at the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show, BMW Brilliance announced that its first pure electric SAV model-BMW Brilliance iX3 was officially launched. There are two models in the entire series, respectively. It is the leading model and the pioneering model, priced at 469,900 yuan and 509,900 yuan respectively.
As a new pure electric luxury mid-size SUV created by BMW, the BMW iX3 is equipped with the fifth-generation BMW eDrive electric drive technology, with a cruising range of 500 kilometers (NEDC conditions).
BMW Brilliance iX3 and X3 both belong to the CLAR platform, and they are also very similar in design. What distinguishes them is the iX3's semi-enclosed kidney grille, the through-design front apron, and the exclusive blue decoration for new energy models around the body. It has distinctive new energy features while retaining a relatively traditional overall design. It seems that after the pioneering attempts of i3 and i8, BMW decided to take care of consumers' acceptance.
In addition to enhancing the uniqueness and recognition of BMW Brilliance iX3, these unique designs also play a great role in functionality. For example, the new aerodynamic wheels can reduce air resistance by up to 5% and weight by 15%. Through multiple aerodynamic optimizations, the drag coefficient of the BMW iX3 is controlled at 0.29Cd, which is a pretty good result for an SUV.
In the interior, the central control shape of BMW Brilliance iX3 is the same as that of the current BMW Brilliance X3. It is equipped with a floating central control screen, a full LCD instrument panel, and an electronic gear lever. The overall family style is strong. The central control panel adopts wood grain style to highlight luxury and texture. A blue trim strip is added to the electronic gear knob, which is the most intuitive difference from the interior of the fuel version of the X3, and corresponds to the pure electric status.
In terms of configuration, all new cars come standard with multifunctional sports leather steering wheels, heated front seats, three-temperature zone automatic air conditioning, induction ambient lighting, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, 10.25-inch central control LCD screen, etc. . The high-end models are also equipped with a full-color head-up display system, BMW driving recorder, BMW electric vehicle sound simulation, mobile phone wireless charging, WiFi hotspot, keyless entry, front seat electric lumbar support, gesture control, Harman Kardon Audio.
The BMW Brilliance iX3 is equipped with the fifth-generation BMW eDrive electric drive system and CATL's NCM811 ternary lithium battery. The production of battery packs is completed by the second phase of the BMW Brilliance Power Battery Center. Compared with existing BMW electric models, the iX3's battery cell energy density has increased by 20, and the system energy density has reached 154 kilowatts/kg. The battery pack has a total capacity of approximately 80 kWh and a net capacity of 74 kWh, which can provide the vehicle with an NEDC cruising range of 500 kilometers. At the same time, the charging power of BMW iX3 can reach 100 kilowatts.
