BMW iX3 Beats Rivals in 436-Mile Test

In Edmunds’ real-world range test, the 2027 BMW iX3 50 xDrive traveled 436 miles on a charge, beating its EPA estimate of 392 miles and outlasting the Mercedes-Benz GLC EV by 44 miles and the Volvo EX60 by 84 miles. The iX3 also used less energy than its EPA rating predicted, averaging 28.3 kWh per 100 miles and narrowly edging both rivals on efficiency. Edmunds’ test combines city and highway driving at an average speed of 40 mph, aiming to reflect everyday conditions. The results position the iX3 as a standout among the luxury electric SUVs tested, though its range and efficiency figures reflect specific test conditions and equipment.
