New BMW iX3 kick starts Neue Klasse blitz from 2025

The first model to be based on BMW’s Neue Klasse EV platform is taking shape ahead of a planned UK launch during the latter half of 2025. Set to succeed the existing iX3, the bold five-seat SUV will pack close to 600bhp in its most potent form and spearhead a six-strong range of electric cars atop the new 800V platform. Among them will also be the radical i3 saloon, which was previewed as the Neue Klasse concept at the Munich show in September.

There are no official details two years before BMW’s planned launch, but the new iX3 and other Neue Klasse models are expected to support charging at up to 350kW on high-powered DC chargers for a notable reduction in charging times. For reference, the 77.4kWh battery packs of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 can be topped up from 10-80% in just 18 minutes at a 350kW charger. Another key development for upcoming Neue Klasse models is a new range of electric motors.
