Sinnaoi, 30 Aug 2026Thanks for the great opportunity to follow your experience with the iX3. I currently own an iX... moreMy previous car was X5 45e, so same size as iX.
iX3's ride quality and interior materials are not on the same level, but I can live with this.
The overall smoothness of the drivetrain almost compensates. I test drive a lot of EV-s and I don't think any other car comes close.
Charging is fast, 800V charges are plenty here. So far on a charging stop, the car is always ready before I am.

Anonymous, 31 Aug 2026Where did you get delivery? I have the same config on order. Thanks, BrianWe are based in Bulgaria.
The car arrived 4 months after the order, which is a lot faster than what the dealer estimated.

Thanks for the great opportunity to follow your experience with the iX3. I currently own an iX on leasing with which I am very happy but still I am considering my options after the leasing expires. The iX3 is definitely a very attractive option. I would be very interested in your experience with charging (how fast can you practically charge. The availability of 800v 400 kW chargers in your region), as well as with the usability of the oblique rectangular screen (does it render information or multimedia display less attractive...). Information about the add on value of the build in assistant (in my iX it's not AI powered) would also be great!
I wish you lots of fun!
