The next iX3 and other BMW models to come in short and long range variants

According to a tipster on Bimmerpost, who has a pretty good track record when it comes to BMW-related stuff, the company plans to offer long and short-range options with all of its EVs based on the upcoming Neue Klasse platform. That includes the upcoming iX3 too. Single and dual motor variants are also in the cards.

Still, it's important to note that the source of the leak says that the info is based on pretty early hints and it's not a sure thing.

However, the decision to offer a wider range of battery options makes a lot of sense. Tesla is doing the same in order to appeal to a broader range of customers. After all, not everyone needs the highest possible mileage on one charge.

The tipster suggests the next iX3 SUV might come in Standard Range RWD, Standard Range AWD, Long Range AWD and M Performance AWD.

BMW is set to reveal more about its Neue Klasse platform during next year's CES in Las Vegas. The company is touting 30% more range, 30% faster charging, 50% lower production cost and 60% lower carbon emissions.
