I'm testing the most important model in BMW's modern history – the all-new, fully electric BMW iX3 from the Neue Klasse series. This isn't just another update to an old platform. It’s the dawn of a new era, where BMW challenges the current EV market leaders. I check if the 800V architecture, an incredible range exceeding 800 km (WLTP), and a minimalist design are enough to win over traditional fans of the brand.
In this video, you will find answers to key questions:
How does the Neue Klasse differ from previous BMW electric models?
How does the Panoramic iDrive system work in practice, and is removing the traditional instrument cluster a good idea?
Does 400 kW of charging power truly eliminate range anxiety on long trips?
What are the real driving impressions compared to the ICE X3 and its competitors?
Is the BMW iX3 Neue Klasse the new benchmark in the premium mid-size SUV segment?
This BMW iX3 (NA5) is the first model based on a dedicated EV platform, designed to prove that "Sheer Driving Pleasure" can coexist with maximum energy efficiency.
