A new era opens for BMW with the presentation of the iX3, the first model of the Neue Klasse, which makes its debut at IAA Mobility.
BMW unveiled the first model of its Neue Klasse, the all-new BMW iX3, at the IAA Mobility show in Munich. This is a key step in the manufacturer’s transition to 100% electric mobility. Far more than just a new vehicle, the iX3 lays the groundwork for the brand’s future, combining innovations in design, electrification, driving dynamics, digitalization, and sustainability.
Designed from the ground up for electric propulsion, the BMW iX3 features the sixth generation of eDrive technology and a high-voltage battery with cylindrical cells compatible with 800V. The launch version, the iX3 50 xDrive, delivers 345 kW and 645 Nm of torque, allowing it to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 210 km/h. Its WLTP range reaches up to 805 km, while fast charging offers over 350 km of range in just 10 minutes, and 10 to 80% in 21 minutes.
The new electric SUV also stands out with its innovative electronic and software architecture, integrating four “supercomputers” dedicated to driving dynamics, automated driving, infotainment, and comfort functions. The “Heart of Joy” transmission system and BMW Dynamic Performance Control ensure unprecedented precision and efficiency, promising a driving experience that is described as “dynamic and refined.” A bold program.
In terms of design, the iX3 introduces BMW’s new aesthetic language. If a divisive point exists, it lies in the bodywork. What some may consider sleek and timeless may be viewed as boxy and charmless by others! The iX3 maintains the classic proportions of a BMW SUV, but with monolithic surfaces and sharp lines. Fortunately, the overall design is energized by muscular wheel arches, a reasonably sized kidney grille, and vertical LED headlights that reinterpret the brand’s heritage.
The interior is much more interesting with space, modularity, and technology. The BMW Panoramic iDrive promises extensive customization of digital services. A special mention goes to the beautiful dashboard, which is an invitation to travel. BMW rightly reminds us that a car is primarily experienced within its cabin.
