BMW readies Neue Klasse iX3 SUV for launch in September

THE next-generation BMW iX3 will make its world debut in September at this year's Munich Motor Show. The all-electric SUV will launch the brand's hugely important 'Neue Klasse' family of cars.

Currently in the final stages of testing, the second-generation iX3 (main image) will act as the starting gun for BMW's plan to introduce “at least six” Neue Klasse models by 2027. The next 3 Series saloon will be among them, and is also being readied for launch next year.

We've recently spied facelifted versions of the BMW 5 Series and 7 Series testing as well, both sporting Neue Klasse styling cues. These are just two of the astounding 40 new or updated models that the BMW Group as a whole (which also includes MINI and Rolls-Royce) is set to launch over the next two years.

The iX3 will go into production before the end of this year, and will rival the Audi Q6 e-tron, Porsche Macan Electric and forthcoming Mercedes GLC EV, which we drove a prototype of last week (Issue 1,873).
