In just six months, the electric SUV received over 50,000 orders, Zipse said. According to early sales data from Dataforce (via Automotive News), BMW’s new iX3 was the top-selling EV in its segment in April, a month after deliveries began.

BMW iX3 sales surged 171% through April, reaching 10,299 in total. It even topped the Audi Q4 e-tron to become the most popular EV in its class.
