The All new 2026 BMW iX3 concepted |Auto channel

BMW's i electric sub-brand will soon expand to include the 2026 iX3 SUV, and it'll ride on the company's new EV platform previewed by the Vision Neue Klasse X concept. We expect single- and dual-motor powertrains, a big battery, fast charging times, and a driving range estimate of over 300 miles per charge. Little is known about the 2026 iX3 except that it will be one of six models BMW plans for the new platform—including an i3 sedan that will serve as an electric version of the next-generation 3-series sedan.
Range, Charging, and Battery Life
Neither BMW nor the EPA has weighed in on the iX3's estimated range yet—it's far too early for that—but we know that the Neue Klasse platform will use an 800-volt electrical architecture and batteries with up to 20 percent higher energy density compared to what's in production now. We think that should easily push the iX3's range to more than 300 miles per charge, but we'll have to wait for the official figures to know for sure, and we'll report them here.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
If the concept vehicle is anything to go by, the iX3's interior will feature sustainable materials and an airy passenger compartment with adequate space for four adults. The concept vehicle features a large panoramic glass roof which adds to the open feeling inside. Ambient lighting, some of it cleverly integrated into textile trim pieces, helps illuminate the cabin. The concept vehicle was shown in a lovely two-tone red-and-white interior scheme with what looks like a velour-like upholstery on the tops of the seats.
