"Made in China, sold all over the world" is a big selling point of iX3, which is produced by Shenyang BMW factory and then sold all over the world. The BMW iX3 based on the rear-drive platform can be regarded as the electric version X3.
Of course, the design of BMW iX3 basically continues the design of X3, and it can realize * * * assembly line production in manufacturing, mold and cost, without opening a new production line separately.
In the air intake grille, BMW's iconic "kidney-shaped" air intake grille is still retained, but because there is no air intake demand for pure electric vehicles, the grille is naturally closed and dotted with blue, indicating its new energy. Identity.
The side shape of the new car almost completely continues the design of X3, and the charging interface and the unique silver decorative board of pure electric vehicles can be seen on the front fender. In terms of overall dimensions, iX3 is 4746/18911683mm, with a wheelbase of 2864 mm, and the EQC of domestic Mercedes-Benz of the same level is 4774/ 1890/ 1622 mm. ..
The newly designed hub adopts low wind resistance design, which also helps to reduce the wind resistance coefficient of iX3 to 0.29. In addition, thanks to the lightweight design of the hub, the unsprung weight of iX3 is correspondingly reduced by15%; The tire size is 245/45? R20 .
The tail shape of the new car continues the fuel version, the headlight group shape is consistent with X3, and the lower enclosure is also dotted with blue enclosure, indicating its new energy identity.
The interior design of the new car still continues X3' s design concept. We have to admit that from today's aesthetic point of view, this design is indeed contrary to the technological paradigm of new energy vehicles. But the designer still added some "vulgar" blue embellishments to the details, which is actually unnecessary.
This central control mode really doesn't want to vomit anything. In fact, the fuel version has fallen behind the new 3 series generation, and it should not appear on the brand-new pure electric vehicle. As a pure electric vehicle that BMW will mainly sell in the future, "saving time" is not desirable.
The handle of the steering wheel is still very good, maintaining the strong grip of the BMW brand and maintaining the design of this model; There is a circle of blue ornaments outside the blue BMW logo, which proves once again that it is not X3.
Domestic BMW iX3 will adopt the same intelligent technology configuration as X3, including full LCD instrument, iDrive system, wireless CarPlay, 360-degree panoramic image, driver assistance system and wireless charging.
The drumstick-type handle is now also decorated in blue. Since it is no longer necessary to shift gears, the manual M gear is naturally cancelled and replaced by B gear.
Thick seats are still very good in the riding experience, filled with thick packages and very sporty. As a luxury brand model, BMW brand does not choose too environmentally friendly materials, but leather materials with delicate touch.
In terms of power, the BMW iX3 is the first model equipped with BMW's fifth-generation electric drive system (eDrive), and there was only a rear-wheel drive version at the beginning. The maximum speed of the driving motor can reach 17000 rpm, and the acceleration time of 100 km is 6.8 seconds; The battery capacity is 74 kWh, and the energy density of the battery system reaches 154 WHr/kg. According to the official, the comprehensive cruising range is 500 kilometers, the maximum charging power of the vehicle can reach 100 kW, and it takes 45 minutes for the power to reach 0-80%. The maximum charging power of AC charging can reach 1 1 kW, and it takes 7.5 hours to reach 0- 100%.
Editor's summary:
The arrival of iX3 truly reflects the sincerity of BMW brand. Both the construction of the second phase of BMW Brilliance Power Battery Center and the policy of "Made in China, sold worldwide" have undoubtedly proved the importance of the China market. But as far as products are concerned, iX3 doesn't feel any sincerity. "Changing from oil to electricity" has become the idea for BMW to develop pure electric vehicles in the future. iDrive？ 7.0? Car machine system, L2？ Level autopilot and the latest version of BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant are not new configurations. As for the fifth generation eDrive electric drive system, the configuration of single motor rear drive combined with cruising range performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory in the pre-sale price of 470,000 yuan and 565,438+0,000 yuan. As another "test water" of luxury brands, we should be cautious, careful and "end". Sales of BMW iX3 don't need to have high expectations. This car may be more suitable for die-hard BMW fans or consumers who are not worried about the new brand.
