Our neighbor has the previous model the hybrid version. It's an insanely nice ride, the cabin somehow just feels super nice, and the seats are probably the most comfortable I've ever tried.
But this new model is clearly a strong update on the technological side, with way better range and faster charging, if it's as nice to drive as the old model, it will 100% be a super nice car. And the range is clearly improved. 👍

You’re right, the BMW iX3 will probably be a huge hit. I see a lot of them around BMW facilities and they’re wonderful cars, at a reasonable price point.
Yet another oversized and expensive SUV.
There are lots of compact EVs on the market like the Renault 5, Huyndai Inster, Citroen C3, Mini Cooper etc.
In the medium sized cars (by European standards) the number of models are massive.
But some people actually have practical use for these slightly bigger cars, personally I'm a big guy, and I feel cramped in small cars, but there is also some who need to pull weight, and for the Volvo it can pull 1800 kg.
It is super nice that these cars are now available as electric cars, because with renewable energy, the pollution is nowhere near as bad as an old gas guzzler.
Personally we can drive our VW ID.4 car 100% from our solar panels almost 9 moths of the year.
It weight over 2 tonnes, but it's super economic and better for the environment compared to the old car that was about 1400 kg, but was an ICE car.
