BMW AG presented its first all-electric SUV/crossover, the iX3, in concept form earlier today at the Beijing auto show.
The iX3 concept (pictured) is powered by a 270-hp electric motor and a battery pack that provides a driving range of about 400 km (250 miles), according to the company. The vehicle employs BMW’s fifth-generation eDrive system for hybrid and pure-electric powertrains.
BMW’s only all-electric car currently in production is the $44,500 i3 city car introduced in 2013.
