BMW iX3 4x4

BMW are very much a prestige and luxury car manufacturer. While there are rumours of a smaller, and cheaper, iX1 due to market, customers do need a healthy monthly budget to enjoy the iX3. Costing between £60,000 - £70,000, you need to budget around £550 - £750 for your new lease deal.

Getting the most out of your EV is more than just how it looks and what badge appears on the bonnet. Not unlike a combustion engine it is about ride, comfort, performance and style. However, with EVs you have the added complication of lithium-ion batteries which offer different ranges and charging times. All of this is explained in-depth on using our “Living with …” tools on the e-car lease website. However, take comfort from the automotive press who are rating the iX3 as one of the best EVs to lease in 2022 / 2023

While our personal or business customers can be firmly assured of a great driving experience and some formidable battery technology, ensuring that contract hire and electric vehicles are suitable for you involves some in-depth reviews and analysis. Whether this be our “Living with …” tools, company car tax calculations, Zap Map integrations or electric car insurance, we do suggest a considered analysis before embarking on the EV-lifestyle.

Many of the e-car lease BMW iX3 electric car leasing offers can be seen on our pricing partners platforms like AutoLeaseCompare, CarWow, LeaseFetcher and LeaseLoco. However, we understand that many customers, especially those leasing an EV for the first-time, do need to engage more closely with the product. Head to your local BMW retailer for a comprehensive test-drive and use their PCP and HP deals to compare against our contract hire options. You simply select the best.

At the time of writing, there are only two options available, with the standard M Sport, at £60,000 being the cheapest. Unless smaller battery options, or a “Sport” option is introduced, you may need to wait for the iX1.

The range of electric vehicle is generally one of the main obstacles for any personal, business or salary sacrifice customer. For many high-mileage drivers, there is a question as to whether or not an EV could really be suitable? As we have discussed, our “Living with …” tools answer many of the key questions which drivers have about the range of their electric BMW. For the iX3 expect a colder climate to generate between 170 – 235 miles of driving on a full charge. And for warmer climates this is more 215 – 345 miles on a 100% charge. But why so different? Temperature, driving styles, speeds and charging habits dramatically affect the battery’s range. There’s no one figure / statistic you can rely on; the answer is always that ‘ it depends’
