BMW's i3: The Electric 3 Series Poised to Define the Brand's Future

The article argues the new BMW i3 is more pivotal than the iX3 because it reinvents the 3 Series as BMW's core electric sedan under the Neue Klasse, featuring an 800-volt architecture, rapid 400 kW charging, and a large battery that could deliver long ranges (up to ~560 miles WLTP / ~440 miles EPA) with multiple motor variants, including a high-performance i3 M. While the iX3 remains important, the i3 is positioned as the defining BMW EV for the brand's future.

BMW revives the i3 as a high-range four-door EV on the Neue Klasse platform

BMW is reviving the i3 name on a Neue Klasse-based four-door electric sedan that uses the iX3 powertrain and a new cylindrical-cell battery, targeting about 440 miles of range with 400 kW charging. The first model, i3 50 xDrive, pairs dual motors (all-wheel drive) with teased single-motor and quad-motor variants for the future. Not a reboot, but a retcon, the car promises a roomier interior, the Panoramic Vision system, a 17.9-inch touchscreen, OTA updates, and Alexa integration. Expect around $60k in the US and manufacturing starting in August 2026.
