As your friend has rightly guided you, the BMW iX3 is an all-new electric vehicle from the brand's new Neue Klasse line. It's built on a new 800V EV architecture and also debuts a new look and interior layout for BMW. Highlights inside include a 17.9-inch touchscreen and a full-width display under the windscreen that doubles as the instrument cluster. However, the BMW iX3 will only come to India in early 2027. It is understood that the iX3 for India will be a long-wheelbase model. Also note, the iX3 is essentially larger than the iX1 LWB and will correspondingly be pricier. We expect a price in the region of Rs 80-90 lakh (estimated, ex-showroom) when the model goes on sale.

There are currently no electric options available at the under Rs 1 crore on-road price point. In fact, there's a wide gap between Rs 70 lakh and Rs 1.2 crore. However, the gap will be filled over the next 18-20 months with new models such as the Audi Q6 E-tron, Mercedes GLC EV and BMW iX3. At present, the BMW iX1 LWB and Tesla Model Y are the best electric cars under Rs 70 lakh. The iX1 stands out in space and is actually a great value. The Tesla car, on the other hand, makes an impression by being very different from other EVs in terms of design, interior, and technology.Around the Rs 1.2 crore mark, the BMW iX is the best EV out there. A facelift is due in a few months, so you could push for big discounts on the outgoing model.
