BMW is all set to showcase its next big step in electric mobility with the new-generation BMW iX3. The SUV will make its world premiere on September 5, 2025, at the Munich Auto Show. This will be the very first model from BMW’s Neue Klasse lineup, which is designed to define the brand’s future in electric vehicles. The new iX3 is based on the BMW Vision Neue Klasse concept, a futuristic design study that was first shown in 2023. Now, that vision is turning into reality as BMW prepares to bring the new electric SUV to production.
Range That Pushes the Limits
BMW has confirmed that the new iX3 will deliver an impressive range of up to 800 km on a single charge. This makes it one of the longest-range electric SUVs in the premium market. The SUV will also support ultra-fast charging, giving drivers up to 350 km of range in just 10 minutes of charging. For buyers worried about charging time and long journeys, this is a massive step forward. It also puts BMW in direct competition with Tesla and Mercedes-Benz, who have been pushing similar fast-charging technologies.
India Launch Confirmed
BMW is not leaving India behind with this launch. The company has confirmed that the iX3 will be introduced in India shortly after its global debut. However, Indian customers will have to wait until early 2026 to see the SUV on local roads. The good news is that BMW plans to assemble the SUV at its Chennai plant, which should help control costs and speed up availability. This is also in line with the brand’s push to expand its EV footprint in India, a market where demand for premium electric cars is starting to pick up.
What the New iX3 Will Offer
The new iX3 is expected to carry BMW’s signature mix of luxury and driving performance, combined with advanced electric technology. Built on the Neue Klasse platform, the SUV will feature a completely new design language, modern interiors, and the latest BMW iDrive system. BMW has hinted that Neue Klasse models will focus on sustainability, digital features, and next-gen performance. Buyers can expect a minimalist yet futuristic cabin, better aerodynamics, and advanced driver-assist systems to enhance safety and comfort.
Why It Matters for Indian Buyers
For India, the iX3 could be a turning point in the luxury EV market. With its long driving range, ultra-fast charging, and local assembly, it will appeal to buyers looking for a premium EV that’s both practical and futuristic.
BMW already sells models like the iX and i4 in India, and the new iX3 will strengthen its lineup further. With strong competition coming from Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV and Audi e-tron, BMW’s Neue Klasse iX3 will give Indian buyers another world-class option. As the global launch date approaches, BMW is expected to share more details on features, specifications, and India-specific pricing. For now, the iX3 stands as a symbol of BMW’s future of luxury electric driving.
