2026 BMW iX3.
Last Updated:
These are new photos of the upcoming BMW iX3 EV SUV. BMW is celebrating the completion of the new assembly line, which will start production in a few months.
I guess the cars in the photos above are early pre-production models already built in the factory.
BMW just redesigned the X3 SUV, and what we have here is the electric version. BMW‘s upcoming EVs will be based on the new Neue Klasse EV platform, but will look a lot like the ICE models. Especially the new sedan. The EV version will also be based on the Neue Klasse platform while trying hard to look like the new “regular” 3 series. All new BMWs, ICE or EV, will adopt the Neue Klasse design language from now on. The new iX3 is the production version of the Newe Klasse X Concept. And should look much nicer than the new X3.
It seems that BMW has finally found a nice and modern design language. After so many years of getting uglier and more vulgar with each redesign.
The new iX3 will probably be positioned against the Tesla Model Y, at a more premium price. It will also compete directly against the upcoming Mercedes GLC EV and the new Audi Q6 e-Tron.
BMW should fix the brakes on their existing EVs first, they are the worst of all current EV and worse than any car I’ve ever driven in terms of the noise they make. And they refuse to fix it.
Here is a video demonstrating the issue https://youtu.be/GjB-FZw3WrQ?si=tJzKXI4fq_8aN3lU
