PLUG-IN HYBRID

Why choose a plug-in hybrid?

A plug-in hybrid adapts to your everyday life. Drive shorter journeys with zero driving emissions using the electric-only motor then switch to the convenience of a petrol engine on longer trips. If you’re a business user, you’ll also benefit from lower benefit-in-kind (BIK) over traditional combustion engines and, on occasions where you are able to charge your electric motor, you'll enjoy maximum fuel economy as the electric motor works intelligently and in tandem with the petrol engine.

FUEL ENGINE

Based on your daily mileage and lack of access to a charging point, it looks like a fuel-powered combustion engine may still be right for you. BMW Mild Hybrid technology supports the internal combustion engine, with a 48V battery. The battery helps improve performance and boost acceleration, offering seamless stop/start functionality, fuel efficiency, and reduced CO² emissions while driving.

†The BMW iX3 is a battery electric vehicle requiring mains electricity for charging. WLTP electric range for the new BMW iX3 model range: 421 to 500 miles. Whilst we recommend the battery is charged to 80% to help optimise the health and life of your battery, the electric range figure shown is the WLTP figure after the battery had been fully charged to 100%. Model shown is the BMW iX3 50 xDrive M Sport with up to 492 mile range. WLTP figures are shown for comparability purposes. Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load.
