Best Premium Electric Car 2025 – BMW iX3

Ever since the cutting-edge (and very unusual) i3, BMW has been a real pioneer when it comes to electric cars. And it’s paying off, because customers are buying in droves and loving their electric BMWs. Drivers have voted the iX3 as their favourite premium electric car. "Even a so-called 'responsive' and 'sporty' ICE car is sluggish, slow and noisy by comparison," said one proper happy owner.
The iX3 has pipped two brilliant EVs in the Mercedes-Benz EQB and the Polestar 2 to the top spot. "BMW’s premium position continues into the electric age with the iX3 being the car of choice for those looking for a premium EV experience," says Autotrader's Rory Reid. Congrats, BMW.
