Frequently asked questions
Is the BMW iX3 worth the extra £1,270 over the Skoda Peaq?
The BMW iX3 costs £1,270 more than the Skoda Peaq. For that premium it adds 101 kW faster peak rapid charging and a 1.1s quicker 0-62mph time. The Skoda Peaq is not just cheaper - it also offers 370 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Skoda Peaq comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the BMW iX3 or the Skoda Peaq?
The Skoda Peaq is £1,270 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £152 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Skoda Peaq comes out roughly £1,310 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the BMW iX3 and Skoda Peaq like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 293 miles for the BMW iX3 and 335 miles for the Skoda Peaq - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Skoda Peaq goes roughly 42 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 21-28 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the BMW iX3 or the Skoda Peaq?
The two are within 28 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 533 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Peaq and about 505 mm of total clearance for the BMW iX3. The Skoda Peaq also turns in a 0.7 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
