2026 BMW iX3 Zaps Us Into The Neue Klasse Era With Extremely Cool Styling, 400 Miles Of Range And The Wildest iDrive Yet

The upcoming 2026 BMW iX3 marks a bold leap into the future for the brand, debuting as the first model built on the Neue Klasse platform—BMW’s all-new, in-house EV architecture that will influence nearly every model moving forward. Designed for fans of the brand’s most avant-garde and experimental eras, the iX3 blends cutting-edge performance with forward-thinking design, both inside and out. It boasts up to 463 hp, a 0–60 mph time of 4.7 seconds, and a projected 400-mile range thanks to an 800-volt electrical system and advanced motor technology. The “Heart of Joy” superbrain governs driving dynamics with unprecedented precision, while the futuristic interior introduces the Panoramic Vision display, a 17.9-inch rhombus-shaped touchscreen, and a minimalist cabin that still feels unmistakably BMW. Its design, efficiency, tech, and dynamic driving character position the iX3 as more than just an electric X3—it’s the start of a new BMW era that embraces bold styling, modular electric architecture, and intelligent in-car systems that promise to reshape how we experience driving. Production starts in early 2026, with U.S. deliveries expected by mid-year, and pricing estimated around $60,000.
