The bottom guard is not decorated too much, the black enclosure is also in a minimalist style, and the tailgate supports electric opening.
The rear of BMW iX3 is almost the same as X3, and the three-dimensional sense of bump is shaped by different levels of lines. The design of 3D taillights not only considers aesthetics, but also optimizes aerodynamics. The huge spoiler at the bottom is very eye-catching, and the flat chassis can quickly export airflow, which is in line with visual decoration and has better functionality.
Weilai ES8 adopts a new generation of intelligent digital cockpit design, and the whole system comes standard with 9.8-inch ultra-narrow digital instruments. The size of the multi-touch control panel is 1 1.3 inches, and there is an intelligent robot NOMI? Mate2.0 .

As two pure electric luxury SUVs with a price of more than 450,000 yuan, Weilai has obvious advantages in terms of body size, high-grade materials, scientific and technological equipment, electric drive performance and automatic assisted driving ... The pure electric platform ES8 is obviously more attractive and more in line with the appearance of high-tech electric vehicles.
Equipped with the latest fifth-generation eDrive electric drive technology is a highlight of BMW iX3, and it is also the precipitation of BMW's technology in the field of new energy. IX3 has rich experience and high standard car-making system, and it is also a new product with good strength, but it is not superior in configuration, intelligence and interconnection.
Weilai represents the standard of high-end domestic pure electric products at this stage, and BMW iX3 is the first domestic pure electric product that BMW has been preparing for for a long time. Even if the two cars are compared together, there are still many differences between them. As for who to choose, perhaps the next market feedback of BMW iX3 can tell us how the public chooses.
