BMW iX3 vs Volvo EC40
A side-by-side comparison of published UK specifications, including WLTP range figures.
The verdict
The Volvo EC40 offers more range — 265 miles WLTP against 250, a gap of about 15 miles 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 to 60mph) and which standout feature matters more to you.
