Following the Budget 2022 announcement on the tax exemption for EVs, the tax-free price of the BMW iX3 is now revealed - from RM 327,800 for the Inspiring variant and RM 345,800 for the Impressive variant – both of which include the BMW Service & Repair Inclusive: 5-Year Extended Warranty and 6-Year Service Package, as well as the Power Package.

The fully-imported (CBU from Shenyang, China) BMW iX3 is propelled by a rear-mounted electric motor that produces 286 PS/400 Nm. 0-100 km/h takes 6.8 seconds while top speed is capped at 180 km/h.
