BMW announces the sale price of the new iX3 for the North American market

BMW has just confirmed the prices and specifications of the new iX3 50 xDrive, the first series-production model of the Neue Klasse, for the markets of the United States and Canada.

In the United States, this electric SUV will be available from $61,500, while in Canada its starting price will be CAD 75,900. Deliveries in the United States will begin after the summer, on September 25, 2026, while in Canada they will take place during the autumn of this same year. It is worth recalling that, in Europe, this model is already on sale and the first units were delivered to selected customers in February.

As with the iX3 units intended for the European market, the initial production to meet demand in the North American market will take place at the Hungarian plant in Debrecen. However, the Bavarian firm plans to move production of units for the latter market to its Mexican plant in San Luis Potosí starting in mid-2027.

On the other hand, regarding range, the iX3 50 xDrive offers up to 434 miles – roughly 700 km – in the United States according to EPA certification, depending in any case on the wheel and tire configuration chosen. Likewise, in Canada the range certified by NRCan reaches 698 km. These figures are lower than the 805 km homologated under the WLTP cycle in Europe, as is usual due to the differences in measurement methodologies.

The new iX3 debuts the sixth generation of BMW’s eDrive technology, which incorporates new electric motors, cylindrical battery cells with higher energy density, and a new 800-volt architecture. According to the manufacturer, this system reduces energy losses by 40 percent, reduces weight by 10 percent, and lowers production costs by 20 percent compared with the previous generation.

In fast charging, the iX3 supports power of up to 400 kW in direct current, making it possible to add 185 miles – roughly 298 km – of range in just ten minutes. Meanwhile, going from 10 to 80 percent battery requires 21 minutes at compatible 800-volt stations. Likewise, on a conventional alternating-current wallbox, this new electric SUV from BMW supports 15.4 kW as standard and up to 19.2 kW with the Wallbox Professional. An important point to highlight is that, unlike the European model, in the North American market the new iX3’s charging port connector is the NACS standard.

BMW has already opened reservations in North America for the new iX3 through its online configurator. In the United States a deposit of one thousand dollars is required to secure the reservation, while in Canada the fee is CAD 500. In both cases this deposit is refundable if the customer ultimately decides to back out before completing the purchase.
