The BMW iX3, which will soon be revealed at the IAA Mobility Show 2025 in Germany this September, will be the first SUV in the company's 'Neue Klasse' line. Prior to its major unveiling, BMW has disclosed additional information about the forthcoming fully electric product, such as the powertrain, range, and electronic assistance, as well as pictures of the pre-production prototypes that are in the last phase of testing. The iX3, which is the equivalent of the BMW X3, will have a wholly new design language.
New-Gen BMW iX3: Battery Technology and Range
The 'Neue Klasse' iX3 will have the sixth-generation powertrain, according to BMW, and it promises a WLTP range of 800 km. The car manufacturer has not disclosed the battery sizes yet. The batteries will, however, utilize cylindrical battery cells with an energy density 20% higher than that of the prismatic cells that were formerly used, the manufacturer disclosed. The newer cells will be used in a greater number of Neue Klasse vehicles.
At a later time, the new BMW iX3 will probably arrive in India.
Additionally, the new iX3 will support 400 kW DC fast charging, allowing it to add 350 kilometers of range in only 10 minutes, according to BMW. The next-gen electric SUV will be compatible with both 400-volt and 800-volt charging systems. In addition, the SUV will include an "intelligent charging flap" that will open automatically when it detects that the owner plans to charge it. When the charger is unplugged, the SUV will also turn off by itself. Additionally, the automobile has AI integration, which allows it to understand when to open the port depending on the site and the owner's tastes.
The next-generation BMW iX3 will also enable bi-directional charging, including Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) up to 3.7 kW, as well as Vehicle-to-Grid through a new bi-directional 19.2 kW DC wallbox charger.
BMW iX3: New Technologies for a New Generation
With numerous technological improvements, the upcoming iX3 will rank among the most sophisticated SUVs ever produced by BMW. It has been verified that the model will feature a panoramic display at the base of the windshield, a 3D head-up display (HUD), a next-generation central display with Matrix lighting technology, and a completely new steering wheel with lit, touch-sensitive buttons. The newest BMW Operating System X will power the panoramic iDrive. On the safety side, the SUV will be equipped with the ADAS stack of electronic aids, which includes safe exit, road priority warning, and lane change alert, all of which alert drivers to incoming vehicles beside the car.The upcoming BMW iX3 will feature a fully revamped interior and exterior design, as well as a plethora of sophisticated driver assistance systems.
The next-generation iX3 will also include the 'Dynamic Performance Control' software stack, which BMW has announced. This stack will be able to process data ten times more quickly than earlier systems and will offer a more immediate response to driver inputs. According to the carmaker, this will be essential for the powertrain, brakes, recovery, and sub-functions of the steering system. The vehicle will also include the innovative "Symbiotic driver assistance" system, which can preserve the self-driving capabilities even when the user manually applies acceleration or braking.
