Ix3 is an electric version of X3, which will be released later this year, as we all know. Its main competitors, e-tron and EQC, are already on the market and the ix3 is still under test. There is no doubt that the competition in this game is in the downwind. The planning of new cars will generally be 3-5 years ahead of schedule, that is to say, the current backward situation was determined 3-5 years ago, but the future competition is unknown. Because BMW will mass produce the previous next concept car next year. If ix3 based on the current X3 platform is a little bit in a hurry, then the next mass production version is a new one. BMW officials say the ix3 is the fourth generation of electric technology, with a maximum battery capacity of only 74 kwh, compared with 95 kwh for the e-tron, which was launched last year. Next mass production is upgraded from platform to technology to the fifth generation. This means that the car can hold up to 120kwh of electricity, and the real range can reach more than 600km. Of course, in addition to and endurance, the new platform will improve the driving experience of the vehicle greatly. Here we have to talk about the current X5. This large and medium-sized SUV has an absolute advantage in the same level. When others sell it at a discount, it's even hard to find a car. According to internal news, from the perspective of vehicle model positioning and volume, inext can be understood as an electric X5, but the platform is no longer like the ix3 shared car platform. This is, of course, exciting enough. What's more, BMW's i-series electric vehicle program goes beyond that. Although the Geneva auto show didn't open, the promotional video of I4 has been published online. Next year, a four series electric four door car will be released, with a battery of 80kwh and a endurance of nearly 500km. Therefore, more consumers are still cautious about the upcoming ix3, but by 2021, the next mass production and I4 mass production are expected.
