After what feels like years of concepts, teaser images, and infotainment walkthroughs, BMW has finally unveiled its first Neue Klasse car, the all-new BMW iX3. You can read all about that (and its 800km of all-electric range) by clicking these blue words, but don’t go just yet…
Have a quick look at the images here first. They show the Neue Klasse sedan in its production form for the very first time, and we now know that it’ll be called...the BMW i3.

Yep, an old name brought back for a thoroughly modern car. Makes sense, given it’s the electrified version of the new 3-Series. And as previously reported, there will be both gasoline and electric M3s, too.

The i3, which will be fully unveiled next year, looks like it’ll stick fairly close to the Vision Neue Klasse concept with a proper shark nose, a three-box shape, and wide, illuminated kidneys. Word from BMW is that it’ll get the same 108.7kWh battery as the iX3, too, so it should go a very long way on a single charge.
We’re also told it’ll be one of 40 new models or updates launched by BMW before 2027. Lots to look forward to, then...
