I think without it being blue people won’t know the electric version exists. It attracts attention and eventually they can go away from that once people recognize them as having electric options.
They have always used blue for their Eco modes. My 2012 1 series dash goes all blue when you put it in the (terrible) eco+ mode, so suppose it's consistent.
after having checked several reviews of the IX3, I have to say that this car is one of the most efficient EV' s on the market. I am very surprised you scored such a bad result. I believe that this car can really score the WLTP range of 460 km at a speed of 130 km/h on the highway. Even smaller cars use 4 to 5 kw/h more at this speed. Please consider also that the outside temperature has a major impact on the consumption. Otherwise the sound and the blue color do not need to be ordered, you can order the car without them.
Not my thing but I like that this is a just a car that happens to use electric. Unlike EQC etc. it doesn't look like it came from space. Just a regular x3
Effort has been placed into the cars design. Although not highlighted here, youll get very good ecconomy long term from the vehicle, under 20 kwh/100km. If you check out the specs, youll find that it weighs between 200-400 kg less than the EQC and etron. Easier said than done. The frunk may come later.
I like those blue trim bits, it makes a clear difference from the normal x3 And because I don't like electric cars so much I'm happy that they made it this way so if I see one in real life I'd be able to differentiate it quicker from the standard x3 Either way those blue bits still look good in my opinion
Surprised it didn't get shortlisted. It's a pretty great all rounder, efficient and fun to drive. The rear wheel drive is an advantage most of the time and actual buttons for main functions make it a great introduction to EVs.

@@countryside_guy Not really, you don't see them redesigning the X3's design for the desiel powertrain so why should they redesign the electric version, it's just a different powertrain no need for new designs. Using the same design also saves on costs making the vehicle cheaper.

@@ON-O And thats the exact same mistake Mercedes made with the EQC... Its insane how so many legacy car manufacturers thinks converting an ICE vehicle to a BEV will give a good result. It literally never does, and never will.
@@TheGamingNorwegian Those are called compliance cars. I was expecting this to be as good as any other compliance car, but it's surprisingly good, and it has good range, considering it's as aerodynamic as a brick.
@@TheGamingNorwegian Well, Audi didn't with the e-tron and that's not really any better than the EQC.. So it all comes down to execution of the change from combustion-engine to electric-engine.
What might even had much more impact is, that the car had several longer stand stills on that day and had to reheat the battery after each. It seems like Mat doesn't really understand BEVs from a technical point of view.
It's great that BMW hasn't ruined the looks of all its new cars. This actually looks very nice and the new M3 and M4 should have been similar as well, but it is what it is.
If you configure it in blue it gets silver accents on the exterior, the same for red. You can resign from those anyway, no matter what colour you decide to choose. You can spec the car already on German BMW website for example.
@@jonnyreed4718 How come? Sold out in China and more sensible people who doesn’t take an average of all days shitty driving actually found out the car over performs than it’s claimed range.
@15:19 Mat you’ve missed the chance for a great quote from the series “Chernobyl”: “Not great, not terrible”, related to the 3,6 Roentgen value measured by the Geiger sensor.
Regarding the lack of 4x4... How many use their X3 for off-roading..? RWD is enough for 99% of all owners. Wouldn't mind a bit more power tho. Maybe just the 340hp motor from the i4 would do?
@@JaafarAbuTaa I don't think it's possible. Tesla has problems with the supply chain, even in US it takes months for a part to be delivered and replaced, they have problems with QC and in EU they are just at the begining.
Real appreciation goes to Mat Watson - always ahead in his game. One suggestion: How about a drag race among Mercedes EQC, Audi E-tron, BMW iX3, Jaguar I-Pace, and Porsche Taycan...
I agree. Just taking the engine out and putting an electric motor and batteries in, which you can see is what was done when he opened the bonnet, is not enough. Especially when you’re asking £60-70k. The performance is 1-2s to 60 adrift of the X3 M40i, which is cheaper, plus with the range that Mat was getting it looks like the iX3 will need quite a bit of recharging and end up costing similar to run. No 4WD either. It might be worth waiting for the designed-as-electric version to come out. Getting this model now I’d expect Maserati levels of depreciation as it’s not as good as last year’s competition, let alone next year’s...
That’s exactly the reason why I like it and dislike those futuristic EV models. I had the chance to drive a iX 3 last weekend and it was excellent. A joy to drive! Silent, quick, good radius, etc…
Not sure why its being compared to the Merc or Audi as they are based on a electric platform from the start, where as the BMW ix3 is based on a petrol variant (X3) like the Peugeot e2008 is a 2008 or MG eZS is a ZS.
i see why you waited till the end for range lol efficiency is key the problem is the range cut from the cold weather, heated seats and heated cabin(no heat pump) , battery temp , dense air ,
The problem is taking a 20 mile average including several stand stills in the cold for calculating a range, that is necessary only on highway driving. I wonder, if more energy was needed to reheat the battery than for driving.
I wish car manufacturers would make its so that you couldn’t tell it was the electric version of the car. If they looked the same they would sell more electric cars.
Matt why not start using a dB meter on your phone or buy one for measuring the inside of cabin levels of noise. because "this car is noisier then others" is not really technical now is it 😁. Thanks for the reviews.

Have one, normal driving averages 2.6 to 2.7 miles/kwh (summer time). With 74Kwh available that's about 200 realistically. If you really start trying up to 240 is possible in the summer time.
What I actually like about this car is that this doesn't lool obnoxious in the traffic, unlike the EQC or Audi E-Tron. You can drive it casually, be discreet and not many will think of it as an electric vehicle.
Fully agree. Why does the electric versions of a car needs to look worse than the normal version?... wheels, badges, strange add-on colors...you would think the car makers would want to make electrical cars looks better than the normal combustion versions....

No this is how it is not supposed to be designed! not smart to convert a fossil to EV. you get a lot of bad design. Just look at that nasty grille and wasted space under the bonnet that could be utilized for a frunk. And all those hideous blue details. pointless!
@@Angusoksen I prefer this overall design over an ungly AF tesla or the hideous VW I.D3 and 4's and also the EQC looks bad imo. I agree that the frunk is just stupid and those wires shouldnt be that open to every owner, but i am judt talking about the outer shell. Also the small blue trims are kinda unnecessary but its not that ugly on this specific car. I guess this is the same reason why the E-Golf 7 was such a success, it just didnt scream EV.
Yes! If there is one thing I can’t stand about electric cars it’s blue/green accents indicating it’s an electric car! Just make it look like a normal car and I’d genuinely consider getting one!

No this is how it is not supposed to be designed! not smart to convert a fossil to EV. you get a lot of bad design. Just look at that nasty grille and wasted space under the bonnet that could be utilized for a frunk. And all those hideous blue details. pointless!
@@Angusoksen I prefer this overall design over an ungly AF tesla or the hideous VW I.D3 and 4's and also the EQC looks bad imo.
I agree that the frunk is just stupid and those wires shouldnt be that open to every owner, but i am judt talking about the outer shell.
Also the small blue trims are kinda unnecessary but its not that ugly on this specific car.
I guess this is the same reason why the E-Golf 7 was such a success, it just didnt scream EV.
Such a good car in the day of soulless Tesla’s
But hurt?
Bmw ix3 is also soulless 😂
@@relansis6962 nah mate. It’s German. And it’s based of the already excellent X3. Need to switch my 2016 GLC63S to the X3M next year hopefully
@@santana9537 with that kind of range 😂 its a shame and im sure its more expensive
Why does the car look like a Polar Bear 🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️🐻❄️
This car looks even shittier than Model Y!
@@bobinpune stfu model y looks like a toy car with no soul in it
Yes! If there is one thing I can’t stand about electric cars it’s blue/green accents indicating it’s an electric car! Just make it look like a normal car and I’d genuinely consider getting one!
