BMW iX3 50L Achieves 640‑mile Range on Single Charge in Real‑World Test
WHY IT MATTERS
It shows that the iX3 can deliver a record real‑world range, boosting confidence in EVs for long‑distance travel and supporting China’s push toward electric mobility.
What happened
BMW’s Chinese‑market iX3 50L completed a 640‑mile drive on a single charge during a straight‑line test that was designed to reflect typical driving conditions. The test was conducted from one location to another without any CLTC (China Light‑Vehicle Test Cycle) leniency, meaning the range was measured under realistic, non‑optimised conditions.
The result demonstrates the vehicle’s ability to deliver long‑range performance in a real‑world setting, a key metric for consumers and regulators alike.
While the test was limited to a single route, the achievement underscores the potential for EVs to meet the demands of long‑haul travel in China’s rapidly expanding electric‑vehicle market.
