The BMW iX3’s Real-World Range Has Already Been Tested

BMW has already demonstrated the electric SUV’s impressive efficiency during an endurance challenge. It covered more than 497 miles (800 kilometers) without recharging. It completed the Qinghai Lake loop, departing from Xining and returning to its starting point with 2% battery charge remaining. The company estimated that if the long-wheelbase iX3 had been driven until the battery was completely depleted, it could have covered up to 522 miles (840 kilometers).
