Airbag Count: 8 Airbags
Safety is paramount in the 2026 iX3, featuring 8 airbags as standard. This includes a new far-side center airbag and a driver-side knee airbag. The vehicle is also the debut platform for "BMW Symbiotic Drive," an AI-linked ADAS system that predicts potential hazards using real-time data.
NCAP Safety Rating: 5-Star (2026 Protocol)
The iX3 was one of the first vehicles to be tested under the stricter 2026 Euro NCAP protocols. It achieved a 5-star rating, with particularly high scores in "Vulnerable Road User" protection due to its advanced pedestrian detection and external airbag features.
