BMW iX3 features an advanced Exit Warning system designed to mitigate human error by preventing occupants from opening doors into oncoming cyclists and pedestrians. When side-mounted radar detects an approaching road user, the vehicle temporarily overrides the unlocking mechanism, allowing the handle to be pulled while keeping the door firmly shut until the hazard clears.
The upcoming iX3 stands as the premier production model from BMW's Neue Klasse platform to integrate this upgraded safety technology. Continuous monitoring around the parked vehicle ensures that cars, e-scooters, and other potential dangers are accounted for before any occupant steps out onto busy streets.
