SUV has all-new platform, drivetrain, battery and digital interface. The brand’s electric reboot starts here
You will read a lot about how the new BMW iX3 is the first of a whole new generation of BMWs; how significant the company thinks its Neue Klasse (‘new class’) platform is; and how this is its first software-defined car.The R&D boss even called it a “masterpiece”, which I think is slightly overblowing a mass-market electric SUV. But the new platform will underpin at least six new EVs by 2028, including an electric 3 Series (to be called the i3), so this is isn’t an unimportant car.But beyond all the hype, just know that, first and foremost, the iX3 is a BMW that drives very well in the traditional BMW style, as we will see.As I write, prices start at £58,755 and deliveries will start in March 2026.
