When I saw this IX3, I didn’t know how to describe how to describe it.
We know that in the Deluxe Trinity BBA in Germany, BMW is the earliest research in the field of electric vehicles. It is 2011, BMW released the concept car of I3, I8. .
Although it is a concept car, but the overall shape is very close to the quantity version of the lane, the extremely avant-garde design language is still like today. It is from future works, although I8 has been discontinued, I3 has also come to the end of life cycle.
There are many controversies in these decades, but we still believe that BMW’s i series will bring more exciting.
until IX3 is available.
My day, where the avant-garde BMW is?
IX3, this is a magic change X3, at least a place to see, this is the case.
Is it very satisfied with the design of the X3?
Recently, BMW has launched a number of models that have been moving in design scale, such as 4 Series, a new generation of M3, M4, including i series electric vehicles, and IX.
It must be recognized that although these models have controversy, it has also received a lot of affirmation. However, the BMW family is now more than conservative models, and X3 is one of the representatives who don’t ask for merits.
Because BMW strategy is to share the electric vehicle and gasoline vehicles, so most of the BMW electric vehicles we can see are followed by the current and not far. Gasoline vehicles have a strong blood relationship.
Speaking of popular points, that is, BMW’s electric car looks very like quot; oil to electric quot; as for them to do not belong to quot; oil to electric quot; this problem requires further discussion.
[123Not long ago, the Mercedes-Benz EQC we said is a typical quot; oil to electric quot; but Mercedes-Benz in the appearance, the interior has made more modifications, although you can see it with GLC is two brothers But you will also think that EQC and GLC are two separate models. 
Turning again to see IX3, you don’t think this is a model independent of X3, IX3 is more like a version of X3.
Because IX3’s body integral shape and x3 are no different, the difference is just in front face, side skirt, and the rear bumper can help you complete changes, and IX3 changes. Exceptions make this car look very strange.
, such as a double kidney in the upper half, the highlight black is carved on the shape of the golf surface shape, the vertical bar on the side of the bumper The shape is also incorporated with the whole vehicle.
Front wing board did not know what to do, to reserve a charging port, and there is more silver drums below.
The most people can’t stand the blue decoration of the whole car, from the edge of the double kidney, to the bottom of the door, and then go to the tail diffuser, far from It’s like a chrome factory protector that is not torn. It is very killing a special style. BMW you simply put the window wire chrome trim strip to blue.
But not to save, if you choose a black body, the color of the whole car will not be so messy, and it can also increase the mystery.
, the evil blue element is also spread to the car, but it is only compared to converging, harmonious, and the hardware is only the electronic block. And the vehicle start / closing button turns into blue, software, dashboard and central control two large screen interfaces are also replaced by blue themes. 
The only unharitable place is the blank button under the start / closing button, which was originally on the gasoline truck X3, this position is the switch button of the start-stop system, BMW even Don’t you want to re-do a dashboard for pure electric IX3?
Driving is a strong term, but also a weak item
I don’t know why, the rut to review the process of test driving IX3 in my mind. When driving, I played a lot of yawn, in fact, in the process of test drive, almost this state.
It is mainly because IX3 does not have anything that is bright in front of it.
First, the power performance, frankly, as an electric car, the power of IX3 is not strong, and the BMW has only launched a power specification IX3.
Only a single motor is equipped with a single motor, the maximum power is 210kW, the maximum torque is 400 nm, and the two parameters are higher than any version of domestic X3.
Coincidentally, the maximum power of 210kW is also flat, but the Mercedes-Benz EQC 350 he said is also flat, but Mercedes-Benz has a dual motor to EQC.
IX3 officially announced hundred kilometers of acceleration time is 6.8 seconds, with the highest power X3 XDrive30i, which is flat to 200.1 seconds of Mercedes-Benz EQC 350.
From the value, 6.8 seconds of breaking acceleration capabilities should be complete enough and have a little stimulated, but in IX3, it always looks flat, not very compliant with BMW and electric The two attributes of the car superimposed to people’s subjective expectations.
Continue to say the calibration of the dynamic energy recovery system, the earliest is on I3, BMW shows a very mature kinetic energy recovery system calibration skill. 
Only I3 is also a kind of handling and pursuit, so I3 at that time, like Turcela, do not provide options for kinetic recycling, only one strong recycling mode .
However, now IX3 should face more consumers, so BMW provides three kinetic energy recovery.
The lightest level is similar to the opening of the gasoline car to the throttle, the strongest levelIt is also enough to provide the braking force required for single pedal operation, and the middle critical point is very good.
▲ The three arrows on the right side of the power is indicated by the current recovery
this kinetic energy The recovery system can always provide braking force until the vehicle is stationary.
But on the road with a little downhill, the brake to only 1km / h or less than 1km / h will keep the vehicle slowly, need to step on a foot brake to make the vehicle It is completely stationary, this is a small shortcomings.
It is worth mentioning that BMW provides an adaptive kinetic energy recovery mode, and the system will adjust the kinetic energy recovery according to the distance from the car, it is very practical. Item features, there is no embarrassing situation that will appear.
As for the control, BMW makes IX3 very close to X3 performance. The overall personality is not sharp, but it is more natural.
Turning to retaining a more road sensation, it is not light, it is a traditional BMW flavor, and the lack of insufficient places is a bit large, and one side is half a side.
If you can choose the changeable turn to more, it will be more easily, but all the domestic BMW does not provide this configuration, it is a fallen.
The performance of the suspension may be due to the an amazing 2.2 tons of the imposition of IX3, so the suspension is correspondingly tough than X3. To improve support, the disadvantage is that there will be a more obvious metering feel when it is too low.
Overall, IX3 can present relatively complete tuning skills in daily driving, especially after the kinetic energy recovery system has added an adaptive function, which is the most in place in the electric vehicle.
But there is a little driving pleasure, it is a bit flat to a BMW.
Perhaps BMW knows this, so it provides a set of simulated sound efficiency systems, using speakers in the car to simulateRoar.
But telling the sound of this sound in IX3 is not good at all, than Porsche Taycan is far away, so it is just on the high-priced model, and can be turned off.
In addition, in order to make the driver less easy to feel this car is flat, IX3 standards the L2-level driving assistance system, this is BMW is a rare.
BMW is the quot standard for IX3; automatic driving assistance system proQuot; is the most complete set of secondary driving systems that BMW can provide, and to 740LI’s administrative model and above on conventional models. Get standard.
The function is also relatively abundant, such as the speed of 60km / h can be quot; it is quot; driving, it can also automatically change according to the driver’s instruction.
Is it quot; oil change quot;?
Said so much, it is time to explore the model of IX3 such as quot; oil to electric quot;
In the world of electric vehicles, quot; oil modified quot; natively, the native electric vehicle developed by Erg, or the bottom level of the electric car is contemptuous. 
In fact, the topic of Quot; oil to electricity quot; The price is almost consistent) is a good example.
In the previous EQC articles, we analyzed why EQC is a quot; oil modified quot; it has several ways to expose quot; oil modified quot; identity of.
The most pronounced is that after the large battery is placed in the bottom, the gap is smaller, and the carriage should be high, many quot; oil modified quot; cars avoid this problem .
Also discovering BMW IX3, there is no such problem, although the ground clearance is better thanX3 is slightly lower, but it also maintains a horizontal SUV should have, while the layout inside the compartment does not need to change because of the battery lying on the bottom of the vehicle.
This illustrates that the BMW’s CLAR platform has a relatively high compatibility, which can be more compatible with gasoline vehicles and electric vehicles, but to achieve such compatibility. Sex, in fact, it is necessary to take into account the future of the future needs to be in the platform and the carriage. 
Although IX3 has time than Mercedes-Benz EQC, Audi E-TRON is late, but it is the longest, maybe BMW.
This will inevitably be involved in the field of electric vehicles earlier, after all, at present, the entire electric drive system on IX3 is already the fifth generation of electric drive system, its efficiency, experience, and even Safety is at a higher level.
Of course, still in that sentence, IX3 is visible, but it may be the easiest to think is quot; oil change quot; It can be too losses.
So I also give BMW a small suggestion here. We know that the electric vehicles launched in the next period of time will have a strong blood relationship with the gasoline cart, for example, there have been spy photos I7 ( The next generation of 7 Series electric version) and the i4, which will be unveiled, etc., as far as possible, the places and gasoline vehicles are obviously differentiated as much as possible.
We also don’t expect this earth to appear in front of I3, I8, but if IX3 appears, there will be many people to see it. Not interested.
Good to have 500km in NEDC, and pull the target population of these luxury electric vehicles from the Mercedes-Benz store to the store of BMW.
However, at present, the potential buyers of electric vehicles are more still sitting in Tesla, and Model Y is at the beginning of the New Year’s Iraqi. It has come to 3.399 million quot; Bomb quot;, undoubtedly also makes traditional luxury brands of electric vehicles feel trembling.
BMW became a reactionThe fastest traditional luxury brand announced that the price of IX3 was lowered from the early morning of January 28, and two versions dropped by 70,000 yuan. 
Is this a pattern of traditional luxury brands?
After the price reduction, the official price range of BMW IX3 became 399,900 yuan to 4.399 million yuan. In fact, when the rut is going to the probe before the official land, the sales personnel have already reported it. A 410,000-headed price and still have a space for further negotiations.
The guidance price after the official land is lower than the final price of the official down, although the preferential amplitude may be reduced accordingly, but we think that the terminal will still have a discount. And after the offer, the landing start price of IX3 will be lower than the gasoline version X3.
According to the traditional understanding, the same platform gasoline and tram, usually a tram, but now it is not the same.
More importantly, BMW also said that the BMW will also make cash compensation for the owner of the purchased owner.
That is, the set of BMW does not play Tesla cut the leeks will treat consumers with the most sincere attitude.
However, this also explained from another aspect, and the traditional Horizons like BMW in the face of the pressure hills in the face of new forces.
We also believe that BMW IX3 price adjustment is just a beginning, and there may be other traditional brands of electric vehicles to follow up price adjustment to facing a ferocious electric vehicle market.
Do you say, Mercedes?
