Redefining the EV Crossover
- Driving Thrills, Not Compromises – Unlike “appliance” EVs, the iX3 delivers BMW’s legendary handling with rear-biased agility, precision steering, and near-zero body roll—thanks to its “Heart of Joy” brain.
- Ultra-Fast Charging & Sustainability – 800V tech (30% faster charging than current BMWs) + rare-earth-free motors make it efficient and eco-conscious. It is also 20% more aerodynamic than todays iX3, which makes it ride smoother and allows for longer, more comfortable rides.
- Minimalist, Not Boring – Tesla-like screens meet BMW ergonomics: haptic steering controls, voice commands, and Panoramic Vision HUD. BMW have even employed the legendary music composer Hans Zimmer to compose this car’s sound effects.
- Everyday Practicality – Steel suspension absorbs bumps like a luxury sedan, while 400+ miles of range (est.) and NACS/Tesla Supercharger compatibility erase road-trip anxiety.

IAA Mobility 2025 Debut – The Neue Klasse Era Begins
The iX3 will star at The IAA Mobility 2025 as BMW’s Neue Klasse flagship, blending 1960s design heritage with cutting-edge EV tech. Production is aimed to start by late 2026, rivaling the Audi Q6 e-tron and Mercedes EQE SUV—but with unmatched driver engagement.

Final Verdict: This isn’t just another electric SUV. It’s a reboot of BMW’s soul—faster, smarter, and more thrilling than any EV crossover today. The future arrives in 2025.
