Wait, hold up. That review says the new iX3 will be the longest range EV on sale in 2026 with its 500-mile max. Sorry, but that doesn’t add up. Just last week, sheltering from rain outside King’s Cross, I saw a billboard for another electric SUV boasting 550 miles. Cold coffee in hand, I jotted the number on my set list to tell my EV-obsessed mate. Longest range? Not if that car hits the market first. £53k’s also a stretch for “great value” when I’m counting every busking coin, but that’s a different gripe.
