BMW iX3 prototype drives 800 km on a single charge with 108 kWh battery
BMW tested a prototype of its next-generation iX3 in a demanding real-world drive in China, achieving 800 km on a single charge. The vehicle, equipped with a 108.7 kWh battery based on sixth-generation cylindrical cells and the Neue Klasse platform, completed the Qinghai Lake loop with only 2% battery remaining. Average consumption was 12.6 kWh/100 km, highlighting its efficiency. The dual-motor system combines an electrically excited synchronous motor and an asynchronous motor, reducing drivetrain losses by up to 40% and improving efficiency by up to 20%. The 800 V architecture enables fast c
- iX3 prototype drove 800 km with 108.7 kWh battery
- Average consumption of 12.6 kWh/100 km in real conditions
🔎 Why it matters: The test with the iX3 50L xDrive prototype and sixth-generation 108.7 kWh battery confirms the efficiency and range of the Neue Klasse platform.
📈 Upside: Improves drivetrain efficiency up to 20% and reduces energy losses by up to 40%.
