All-electric iX3 from BMW here next year

A new BMW electric car coming to Ireland in 2021 will offer a range of up to 458km, writes Brian Byrne.

The iX3 is expected here in the summer, and a feature of the power system is that no rare earths are used in its making.

Already a popular compact SUV in the BMW range, the new version adds a fully electric powertrain that represents a fifth generation of the company’s electric drives.

More details on specification and pricing in the autumn.
