The new BMW iX3 electric SUV - specs and pictures

The BMW iX3 electric SUV has a 30% lower CO2 footprint than the BMW X3 xDrive20d. When the BMW iX3 is exclusively charged with green energy, it has a 60% lower CO2 footprint.

The liquid cooling/heating system serves the storage unit, the power electronics and the electric motor. A two-level cooling module and a powerful control unit ensure ideal temperature control for BMW eDrive components in all operating conditions and in almost any weather. A separate auxiliary heater ensures that the high voltage battery achieves a consistently high level of efficiency when starting the machine - even at extremely low outside temperatures down to -30 ° Celsius.

The interior and the battery are heated using a heat pump system. The heat pump stands out for its extremely high efficiency; uses between 40 and 80% less energy than conventional electric heating while providing an equally comfortable climate on board.
