2024 ix3 - should I buy
Hi all,
I’m based in the UK and seriously considering pulling the trigger on a nearly-new 2024 iX3. The new model is a bit out of budget, so this feels like the sweet spot for me.
This would be my first EV, so I’m trying to do my homework before committing. I’m aware of the official range figures, but I’d love to hear from actual owners about real-world experience – especially in the UK with our lovely weather!
A few things I’m curious about:
• Real-world range: How does it hold up in winter vs. summer? Motorway vs. city driving?
• Charging experience: Any surprises with the public charging network or home charging setup?
• Reliability: Any common issues or faults I should watch out for on a 2024 model?
• Running costs: Servicing, tyres, insurance – anything unexpectedly expensive (or cheap)?
• General ownership: Anything you wish you’d known before buying?
Basically – is there any reason I shouldn’t buy one, or anything I should be looking out for when viewing/test driving?
Thanks in advance for any insights. Really appreciate this community’s help!
