Experience Electric Performance with Confidence

With a powerful all-electric system producing 463 horsepower and 476 lb-ft of torque, the BMW iX3 accelerates from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.7 seconds. Its standard all-wheel drive system also provides added confidence and control in changing road conditions.
The Tesla Model Y delivers a strong electric capability with 456 horsepower and 497 lb-ft of torque, along with a 3,500-pound towing capacity.

Does BMW Offer More Driver-Centered Technology?
