    BMW Concept iX3 Previews Production Version Of EV Crossover

    The two current BMW i cars, the i3 and i8, have been kept separate to the main lineup but with the introduction of the Concept iX3 they are now bringing them into the fold.

    This concept previews a fully electric version of the compact crossover which BMW like to call Sports Activity Vehicle.

    It is pretty evident that the concept is based on the production X3 but without any fossil fuels combusting inside, most of the intakes and vents in the bodywork have been closed off. Just like the Tesla’s and other EV’s in the world this gives is a more streamlined futuristic appearance.ย The separate twin kidneys that have historically characterized the front end of all Bimmers have merged here into one shape.

    Behind this grill sits an electric powertrain good for 270 hp (200 kW) and thanks to the 70-kWh battery, BMW claim it will do 249 miles (400 km). Plug it into the 150 kW quick-charger and it will be full in just 30 minutes.

    More importantly is how modular theย fifth-generation electric powertrain is thanks to the fact that it integrates the electric motor, transmission, and control module into one component. This makes it lighter and very easy to swap into other vehicle lineups.

This indicates that the owner has a Mercedes-AMG One hypercar on order. Let's hope it makes its way to SA!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
