BMW iX3 M60 xDrive Expands the Neue Klasse Electric Lineup
BMW is expanding its Neue Klasse electric vehicle family with the high-performance BMW iX3 M60 xDrive, following strong early demand for the new electric crossover, kursors.lv reported. The rollout follows rapid orders for the initial Neue Klasse crossover configuration, pushing the German automaker to introduce a dedicated variant carrying M division engineering. The new dual-motor model produces 603 horsepower and 874 Nm of torque, surpassing the output of the outgoing internal-combustion X3 M Competition.
Dual-motor setup enables fast acceleration and handling
The dual-motor setup delivers all-wheel drive, launching the crossover from zero to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 240 km/h. Handling performance relies on BMW’s Heart of Joy power control system, an electronic M Sport rear differential, an adaptive M suspension, and a sports steering system.
Aggressive M Design and Panoramic iDrive Interior
Exterior styling incorporates aggressive M aerodynamic elements, including black accents, M-style mirror caps, a rear diffuser, and a rear spoiler. Buyers can select 21-inch or 22-inch wheels alongside yellow front daytime running lights inspired by the M Hybrid V8 race car, as kursors.lv detailed. The front grille lighting elements and rear lamps feature the brand’s three-line M symbol. Inside, the cabin features the BMW Panoramic iDrive concept with a wide-screen display spanning the entire base of the windshield, a central touchscreen, and an M Sport steering wheel. Standard features include massage-equipped sports seats, a 13-speaker Harman Kardon audio system with Dolby Atmos support, and level-two driver assistance technology.
