BMW’s New iX3 Is Already Celebrating a Production Milestone
On Tuesday, BMW announced the production of the 50,000th iX3 at its new manufacturing plant in Debrecen, Hungary, marking the fastest production ramp-up at any new BMW facility to date.
Strong customer demand for the iX3 drove orders toward 100,000, prompting the company to add a second production shift at Debrecen earlier than planned to meet volume.
Powered by a 108.7 kWh battery, the iX3 50 xDrive delivers a WLTP range of up to 805 km and supports DC charging up to 400 kW for rapid energy replenishment.
Early next year, the C-Class Electric will arrive in Australia from Mercedes-Benz, with pricing expected to start around $105,000 and featuring a 94 kWh battery and 330 kW charging capacity.
This release continues a long-standing rivalry between the two German brands; while Mercedes focuses on comfort and technology, the iX3 remains highly competitive with superior range and faster charging capabilities.
