Group design director Adrian van Hooydonk confirmed the Neue Klasse series will start with the iX3 launch this year, before this one follows in 2026. They’ll have those fancy Gen6 batteries, a radical new electronic architecture, and an interior space that wouldn’t look out of place in a sci-fi movie.

The crossover first teased as the Neue Klasse X concept will be the first on the brand's all-important new platform.

Spy photographers snapped the first photos of the facelifted BMW M5 last month and now we’re getting a glimpse at the mainstream sedan. It adopts an all-new front fascia as part of a radical Neue Klasse makeover, which marks a major shift for the automaker.

Now BMW has once again confirmed that yes, the first of six new ‘Neue Klasse’ electric cars will indeed be the next iX3. And BMW boss Oliver Zipse confirmed der neue Neue Klasse iX3 will be unveiled this September at a motor show in Munich.
