BMW iX3

BMW is pulling the iX from its US lineup as it prepares to launch the first Neue Klasse EV later this year, the all-new iX3.

The new iX3, BMW’s first Neue Klasse EV, secured over 50,000 orders in just six months. Deliveries are now underway in Europe and will begin in the US later this year.

The new iX3, BMW’s first Neue Klasse electric vehicle, is more affordable than most luxury rivals in Australia. With prices starting at around $60,000, it will be one of the more affordable luxury EVs in the US, too.

BMW’s new electric SUV is a true range monster. BMW drove the iX3 over 1,000 km (621 miles) without charging, and it still wasn’t empty.

After losing to Tesla in the first round, BMW says it’s ready for another chance. BMW is taking aim at Tesla as it looks to win back drivers with longer-range, ultra-fast charging EVs, starting with the new iX3.

BMW is gearing up to launch its first Neue Klasse model later this year, promising 30% faster charging and at least 30% more range. Starting with the new iX3, BMW says an “unprecedented ramp-up” is coming as it prepares to unleash over 40 new and updated models by 2027.

BMW has been making cars for decades and got off to a strong electric start with the i3 and i8, but since then, they’ve been a little quiet. Until now.

BMW is launching the iX3 electric SUV in Europe with the vehicle arriving at dealerships from China.

Here we share a close look photo gallery of the new electric vehicle.

BMW has started production of the iX3 electric SUV, the German automaker’s first vehicle with its next-generation electric powertrain.

The all-electric BMW iX3 SUV is not coming to the United States. But the company is still trumpeting the iX3 as the beginning of its major EV campaign – and the debut of a more capable EV drive system. The production of the version of the iX3 was unveiled today. If nothing else, it provides new images for the best glimpse yet of the model.

News emerged only yesterday that BMW had canceled plans to launch the BMW iX3 in the United States. But Automotive News reported that BMW had already decided to kill US sales of the iX3 in January at dealers meeting in Boca Raton, if not earlier. BMW executives and dealers deemed the all-electric iX3 as a dud before it reached our shores.

Why? Its 74-kilowatt-hour battery pack is considered by Americans to be too small.
