BMW is all set to take the wraps off the next-generation iX3 on 5 September at the Munich Auto Show. This all-electric SUV will be the first production car based on BMW’s Neue Klasse architecture—a platform that will shape the future of BMW EVs. Built on the Vision Neue Klasse concept, this iX3 aims to push boundaries in range, tech, and design.
Launch
The big reveal happens at IAA Mobility in Munich, one of the most important global motor shows for future mobility tech. The new iX3 won’t just be a next-gen electric SUV; it will kick off a new era for the German brand’s electric ambitions.
BMW plans to launch this car globally in early 2026, and good news for Indian EV buyers—the new iX3 is coming to India and will be assembled at BMW’s facility near Chennai.
Range
Now let’s talk numbers. The next-gen iX3 is expected to deliver a jaw-dropping 800 km of range on a single charge. That puts it ahead of most rivals in the premium electric SUV space. It’s not just about distance though. The iX3 can reportedly fast charge enough to deliver 350 km of range in just 10 minutes. That’s close to the time you’d spend grabbing a coffee.
BMW’s promise of long range and ultra-fast charging shows they’re serious about beating range anxiety and making electric travel truly convenient.
Tech
Inside, the iX3 is just as futuristic. It will debut several new features and systems, starting with a panoramic display that stretches across the dashboard. The display will run on BMW Operating System X—a brand-new interface that’s expected to bring even more connectivity, customization, and intuitive controls.
Alongside that, there’s a new 3D head-up display, a redesigned digital instrument cluster, and a completely new steering wheel. The aim here is clear: blend luxury with tech in a way that feels natural and immersive.
Safety
The new iX3 will also introduce BMW’s most advanced ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) yet. Depending on the market and local regulations, this SUV will feature near-autonomous driving capabilities. While full autonomy isn’t globally legal just yet, this car is built to handle most of the driving itself in future updates.
Design
From the outside, expect the iX3 to carry over some bold styling cues from the Vision Neue Klasse concept. Sleek lines, flush surfaces, and reworked lighting elements will dominate the design language. Expect less chrome, more LED sophistication, and a more aerodynamic silhouette that makes this EV stand out.
Here’s a summary of what the new iX3 brings to the table:
