CarTell take
We haven't driven the iX3 yet. On paper, which grade is actually in stock: iX3 40 deliveries were slated for the fourth quarter of 2026. Also price the options, since metallic paint ($2000), M Sport Pro ($3500) and tow hitch prep ($2500) add up fast.
Why consider it
- On paper the range is the headline: 805km WLTP for the 50 xDrive, the longest claim of any SUV on sale here, backed by 400kW DC charging on an 800V system.
What to know
- The 50 xDrive sits well above the Luxury Car Tax threshold at $109,900, and the cheaper iX3 40 gives up 170km of claimed range and all wheel drive.
