I just came across this in a global website (TopElectricSUV) comparing 2021 IX3 versus the facelift 2022, which, if factual, seems quite a significant improvement in acceleration in terms of day to day driving.
Has anybody else noticed (or even experienced) this?

"A small improvement is that while previously it took 4.1 seconds to accelerate from 80-120 km/h, now it takes only 2.5 seconds. That should make highway driving sportier and safer (with swifter overtakes). As per the UK site, the range in the WLTP cycle is the same as before – 460 km (286 miles)."

It is a apparently a mistake from BMW & TopElectricSUV, original iX3 had also 2.5 sec 80-120 in the spec, which was later corrected to 4.1. Folks have reported no difference.

2.5 sec is what cars with way higher hp (e-tron GT is stated at 2.3 sec, M2 Competition & M5 F90 at 2.4 sec here: https://fastestlaps.com/models/audi-e-tron-gt) can achieve, so that considered 2.5 sec just is not possible with iX3.

See original (July 2020) pre-LCI spec here:

Thanks for that.
I am not surprised that it is not the case as I would have expected quite a lot more coverage if there had indeed been a 30+% improvement in overtaking ability.
