BMW won't sell its first electric crossover in the US
BMW's first all-electric crossover isn't coming to the US in 2021 -- in fact, it's not coming to the US at all. The automaker first mentioned that the BMW iX3 is "not currently planned for the US market" in a press release for the Concept i4 published a few days ago. Since the gas-powered SUV the iX3 is based on is one of BMW's most popular vehicles in the US, that may sound unbelievable. But now a spokesperson has confirmed to Automotive News that it does "not have plans to bring the iX3 to the US market."
BMW’s future EVs could outlast the competition by 200 miles
BMW has said that it wants to build all variants of its cars (hybrid, gas, electric) on the same production lines.

It relies on the automaker being nimble and that means major changes to how BMW's EVs are built.
BMW’s Concept iX3 dials back the futuristic styling

BMW releases a teaser for the iX3, its first all-electric SUV
BMW announced back in March that it's debuting a concept version of the iX3 at Auto China 2018 in Beijing. It's the automaker's first all-electric SUV, and it's also the first EV it's launching since it started producing the i3 back in 2013. Now, the company has released a teaser of the 2020 iX3 on Twitter, and while you won't see much of the vehicle at all, the short video does show BMW's iconic kidney grille design morphing into something else.
