For a long time, the <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/tag\/tesla-electric-cars\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"164\">Tesla<\/a><\/em> Model Y<\/strong> was considered the class leader in this area. However, BMW&#8217;s upcoming next-generation <strong>iX3<\/strong> model is poised to change the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to BMW CEO Oliver Zipse&#8217;s statement, the new iX3, one of the first models developed on the <strong>Neue Klasse platform<\/strong>, consumes only <strong>15 kWh per 100 kilometers<\/strong>. This is a remarkably impressive level of efficiency for a dual-motor SUV weighing approximately <strong>2,285 kg<\/strong> and equipped with a <strong>108 kWh battery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indir-1-4.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25770\" style=\"width:750px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indir-1-4.webp 720w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indir-1-4-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indir-1-4-390x220.webp 390w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/indir-1-4-150x84.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The efficiency increase offered by the new model is based on BMW&#8217;s new platform and technology, which were developed from scratch. The new generation <strong>4695 cylindrical cells<\/strong> offer <strong>20 percent more energy density<\/strong> than the previous model. In addition, a new inverter with <strong>silicon carbide chips<\/strong> and a highly efficient <strong>EESM (externally excited synchronous motor)<\/strong> also play a significant role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When all these components are brought together, the <strong>Gen6 powertrain<\/strong> reportedly achieves a <strong>40 percent reduction in energy loss<\/strong>, a <strong>10 percent reduction in weight<\/strong>, and a <strong>20 percent reduction in costs<\/strong> compared to the previous generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a reflection of its high efficiency, the BMW iX3 also boasts an impressive range. The electric SUV is expected to offer a range of up to <strong>800 kilometers<\/strong> on a full charge according to the <strong>WLTP cycle<\/strong>. Its <strong>800V architecture<\/strong> will also enable fast charging up to <strong>400 kW<\/strong>, allowing for a range of around <strong>350 km<\/strong> from a 10-minute charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new BMW iX3 will be officially unveiled at the <strong>Munich Motor Show<\/strong> next month. Mercedes&#8217; next-generation electric <strong>GLC<\/strong> model will also be revealed at the same show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Might Also Like;<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Initial data released by BMW CEO Oliver Zipse reveals that the new iX3, equipped with the Gen6 powertrain, will be a much more efficient vehicle than its predecessor.
