Family + dog
Strong storage without seven-seat bulk
The boot and frunk handle family luggage and a dog well, though the lower roof is less suitable for an exceptionally tall crate.

Full review
What it is like to live with
The new iX3 moves the numbers forward without growing beyond its rivals. It is the long-distance choice of the German trio, though early owners will also be validating an entirely new electronic architecture.
What works
Up to 805 km WLTP
400 kW peak charging
Strong cargo and frunk combination
What irritates
First-generation software risk
Real cars will cost above base
Minimal new control layout needs learning
Trips + camping
The premium trio's range leader
Up to 805 km WLTP and 400 kW peak charging make it exceptionally capable for European travel; early software maturity remains worth monitoring.
City + daily life · 3.8/5
Narrower than its direct German rivals
At 1.895 metres wide it is easier to place than the Q6 or electric GLC, although it remains a 4.78-metre premium SUV.
Cargo · 4.4/5
A credible intercity executive work car
Long range, rapid charging, a useful boot and separate frunk minimise interruptions for professionals travelling between Portuguese cities.
Taxi + high mileage · 4.5/5
Best reserved for premium chauffeur work
Efficiency and charging performance support high mileage, but the €72,900 starting price requires executive fares rather than ordinary TVDE use.
