BMW iX3 (2026) Crash Test - BMW's Safest Car

Presents the Euro NCAP crash test results for the "Neue Klasse" BMW iX3 50 xDrive, a large electric SUV with a kerb weight of 2,285 kg. The car is described as performing strongly across all stages of the assessment and as possibly BMW's safest car to date. In crash protection, the iX3 scored 86 per cent. It earned maximum points in all side-impact evaluations, which the description attributes partly to a standard centre airbag that prevents occupant-to-occupant impacts. Frontal offset testing showed good or adequate protection for all adult statures. The car did not receive full marks in the full width test because of a marginal driver chest score of 85 per cent, although both rear child dummies received maximum points.
