2024 BMW X3 eDrive, Hybrid, Redesign, Release Date. The handsome and responsive-to-drive, mid-size, BMW X3 entered the third generation in late 2017 but BMW also defined the next step for this model. The electric X3 will likely arrive as the part 2024 model year and unlike some expected to be marketed as the 2024 BMW X3 eDrive the model will go to the production under the i sub-brand and use the iX3 nomenclature.
The prototype of the future electric iX3 is already performing the out-door testing and it looks almost identical to the newest version of the conventionally-powered X3. The models will also share the most of the in-car technologies and interior design. The model will be sold globally and the production will take the place in China.
2024 BMW X3 EDRIVE POWERTRAIN
As for the powertrain of the 2024 BMW X3 eDrive, it is too early to have precise details but the model won’t depart far from what BMW presented on the concept model.
The model will integrate the fifth-generation eDrive system but remains to see what performance it will be capable of. BMW promise, its new-gen solid-state batteries would do more than 400 miles per charge but the iX3 should hit the roads before the arrival of these batteries.
The Concept version had a 270-horsepower electric motor in the combination with the 70-kWh battery. BMW claimed the range of this setup to 250 miles and fast charging to 80 percent in about 30 minutes. The production version should be close to these numbers.
2024 BMW X3 EDRIVE DESIGN
The 2024 BMW iX3 will use the new-generation eDrive platform that actually debuted on its Concept version but won’t go on sale as the 2024 BMW X3 eDrive as some expected. This platform will also be the base of many future vehicles from the brand and BMW is also working on the new-generation solid batteries for the electric models. These batteries won’t be here in time for this model but we should expect very good driving range despite that.
On the other hand, the styling of the model won’t be the large departure from the conventional version form. The prototype version spotted recently is almost identical to the current X3 and just a few details make the difference. The model has a conventional kidney grille but for the production version, we should expect enclosed variant like on the Concept vehicle.
BMW will also use slightly different bumpers and what will also define this model are the side charging port and the model will also lack the exhaust tips.
INTERIOR, EQUIPMENT
Inside, the iX3 will also use the same layout as the recently all-new, conventionally-powered X3 but BMW will add a few unique details.
The model will come with the high-end materials and in-car technologies. It will use the new-design instrument panel and the latest connectivity tech. BMW is also working on the self-driving technologies and in the time of coming this model will also integrate the achievements in that area.
2024 BMW X3 EDRIVE ARRIVAL, PRICE
The 2024 BMW X3 eDrive should make the premiere in late 2024. The price estimation is between $50 and $60k.
