Head to head
Volvo EC40 vs BMW iX3
A side-by-side comparison of published Australian specifications, including WLTP range figures.
The verdict
The Volvo EC40 offers more range — 425 km WLTP against 400 km, a gap of about 25 km between charges. The BMW iX3 is the better fit for families needing extra boot space, with 510 litres and 5 seats versus 404 litres and 5 in the Volvo EC40. Prices start at the same figure, so the deciding factors are boot space, pace (4.8s plays 6.8s off the line) and which standout feature matters more to you.
On the measured specifications below, the Volvo EC40 leads in 3 areas and the BMW iX3 in 1.
