BMW has opened a new chapter in the electric mobility world with the reveal of the all new BMW iX3 2026, the first production model from the Neue Klasse generation. This SUV is more than just another EV, it represents the German brand’s vision for the future of design, performance, and advanced technology. It is aimed at customers who value luxury blended with power and efficiency, particularly in markets like Saudi Arabia and the UAE where demand for premium electric vehicles continues to rise.

Impressive Electric Performance with Exceptional Range


The BMW iX3 50 xDrive delivers mechanical and electric capabilities that mark a major leap in the luxury EV segment:

  • Power output of 463 hp

  • Torque of 645 Nm distributed across all four wheels

  • Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds

  • Electronically limited top speed of 210 km/h

  • Advanced cylindrical cell battery with a capacity of 108.7 kWh

  • Driving range of up to 800 km (WLTP)

  • Ultra fast 400 kW charging adds 370 km in only 10 minutes

Key Specifications of the BMW iX3 50 xDrive

  • Power: 463 hp

  • Torque: 645 Nm

  • Acceleration: 0 – 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds

  • Top Speed: 210 km/h

  • Battery Capacity: 108.7 kWh

  • Driving Range: around 800 km

  • Fast Charging: 400 kW adds 370 km in 10 minutes

A Bold New Design for the Future


BMW has given the iX3 a daring and futuristic design language that highlights the brand’s next chapter:

  • Classified as a SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) rather than a traditional SUV

  • Vertical kidney grille inspired by the 1960s Neue Klasse models, available with Iconic Glow illumination

  • Sharp exterior lines and a sporty rear spoiler for a more aggressive stance

  • Low drag coefficient of 0.24 enhancing efficiency and aerodynamics

  • Interior crafted with recycled materials and completely leather free

  • Panoramic Vision display stretching beneath the windshield with six customizable widgets

  • Optional 3D head up display and the latest BMW Operating System X

  • Support for apps including music, gaming, and even Zoom for meetings

Technology and Sustainability at the Core


The sixth generation of BMW’s eDrive technology reduces energy consumption by 40 percent compared to the previous version, while cutting weight by 10 percent and production costs by 20 percent. At the heart of this progress is a brand new electronic architecture that the company describes as the car’s digital nervous system. It relies on four high performance computers that manage driving, braking, and steering systems with precision, operating up to ten times faster than conventional control units.


From an environmental perspective, recycled materials make up nearly one third of the iX3’s components, and the vehicle is built in a Hungarian factory that runs without fossil fuels. Over its full lifecycle, this new model carries a carbon footprint that is 34 percent smaller than its predecessor.

Trims and Expected Pricing


Sales of the BMW iX3 50 xDrive are scheduled to begin in March 2026, with prices starting at around £58,755 in the UK (270,000 AED) . Buyers will be able to choose from three trims: the standard iX3, the iX3 M Sport, and the iX3 M Sport Pro. Even the entry level variant comes well equipped, offering 20 inch wheels, heated front seats, advanced driver assistance systems, and an intelligent charging flap that uses artificial intelligence to detect when the user intends to connect or remove a charging cable.
