BMW iX3 completes South Korean certification…
800V · 615 km (≈382 miles) range confirmed
Noir Klasse technology rolled out
BMW has completed South Korean certification for its next-generation electric SUV, the iX3 50 xDrive, and is preparing to launch the model.
The iX3 is slated to arrive in South Korea in the third quarter of 2026. BMW rates its combined driving range at 615 km (≈382 miles), positioning the model competitively in the premium EV segment.
Pricing for the M Sport trim starts at KRW 86.9 million (≈ $65,175), targeting premium electric SUV buyers.
Dual-motor · 800V system
Performance significantly upgraded
The iX3 50 xDrive uses front-and-rear dual motors in an all-wheel-drive layout.
Combined output is rated at 469 PS (≈463 hp) with 65.8 kg·m (≈646 N·m) of torque, and BMW quotes a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of 4.9 seconds.
BMW’s sixth-generation eDrive introduces an 800V electrical architecture and supports up to 400 kW DC fast charging, boosting both performance and charging speed.
Up to 805 km (≈501 miles) range
Large-capacity battery onboard
The new iX3 is equipped with a 113 kWh NCM battery pack.
WLTP testing yields a maximum range of up to 805 km (≈501 miles), while South Korean certification indicates the car achieves more than 600 km (≈373 miles) under local test conditions.
That materially reduces range anxiety on long trips and improves everyday usability, industry observers say.
Interior overhaul…
Panoramic display introduced
Inside, BMW fits its next-generation digital interface.
The cabin features a 'Panoramic Vision' display that stretches across the lower windshield and a 17.9-inch infotainment screen, markedly improving the user experience.
A new two-spoke steering wheel and a fixed panoramic sunroof complete the forward-looking interior package.
Analysts see the iX3 as a cornerstone of BMW’s electrification strategy and a reference point for the company’s upcoming EV lineup.
