BMW of North America simply confirmed the US iX3 50 xDrive will get 112.2 kWh of usable battery capability. The European model lists 108 kWh. On the floor, the American spec appears to be like higher. However each variations use the identical bodily battery pack—the distinction is only how every market’s rules and guarantee requirements enable BMW to handle that capability.
However this will get complicated with plug-in hybrids. The X5 50e presents the other dynamic: the US model will get 19.2 kWh usable, whereas Europeans get 25.7 kWh. That’s a 34 % distinction for the an identical automobile—translating to roughly 40 miles of electrical vary within the US versus 60+ miles in Europe.
This inconsistency reveals one thing necessary: battery capability specs aren’t standardized globally. The identical bodily pack will get managed and reported otherwise relying on regional rules, guarantee necessities, and testing requirements.
Moreover, Europe checks electrical vary beneath WLTP—a typical targeted on metropolis visitors, suburban cruising, decrease speeds, and frequent stops. The US EPA take a look at incorporates freeway cycles as a result of American driving patterns closely emphasize interstate journey. This testing distinction creates essentially totally different stress profiles on batteries.
Beginning in 2024, the EPA modified the way it checks electrical automobiles. If an EV gives a number of driving modes (Eco, Consolation, Sport), producers should now take a look at both the worst-case state of affairs mode solely, or common the best-case and worst-case modes collectively. Both manner, the revealed vary displays a single driving mode, not real-world combined driving.
The upcoming BMW iX3 (Neue Klasse) is estimated to have an EPA vary of round 400 miles, although official EPA certification is pending because it launches within the U.S. in mid-2026. This estimate comes from BMW’s preliminary checks, with the 50 xDrive mannequin. We anticipate to be taught extra in regards to the vary, pricing, packages and choices in March 2026.
