Coming up today, we're looking at the BMW iX3—a vehicle that represents more for BMW than just another electric SUV. The iX3 is the first of a new generation, built on a fresh platform and aiming to set new standards in range, charging, and design. We’ll unpack what makes this model significant for BMW’s future, take a detailed look at its new technology, and explore how it fits into an increasingly competitive electric SUV market. Stay tuned to find out: · Why the new “Neue Klasse” approach is a pivotal shift for BMW’s strategy. · How the iX3 achieves its leading claimed range of 500 miles · The details of the charging tech and battery architecture BMW has developed. This vehicle marks the start of BMW's most significant transformation since the original Neue Klasse cars of the 1960s helped stabilize the company and established its long-standing reputation as the "Ultimate Driving Machine." With the iX3, BMW isn’t simply adapting an existing model. Instead, it is re-examining what a BMW can be in the electric era.
