Summary
Expected to arrive in the second half of 2025, the new second-generation BMW iX3 – dubbed the iX3 ‘Neue Klasse’ after the German brand’s latest design language – will be a mid-sized electric SUV.
The second-generation iX3 will kick off BMW’s new approach to “aesthetics, technology, and sustainability”, with a dramatically new look both inside and out. This will be followed by the next BMW 3 Series and then other models in the family over time.
The production version of the new BMW iX3 has yet to be revealed, so the pictures on this page are of the BMW Vision Neue Klasse X concept car that was shown off last year. The final production version is likely to look very similar overall, if precious BMW concept cars are anything to go by.
Unlike the current iX3, which is based on the same foundations as the conventional X3 model, the iX3 ‘Neue Klasse’ will be built on a dedicated all-electric platform. This includes new 800-volt battery tech that BMW says will be able to provide around 186 miles of battery range after just ten minutes of charging.
We will continue to update this page as we get more information about the new iX3 in coming months, so check back regularly for all the latest information.
