Overview

• BMW confirmed on its August earnings call that the second-generation iX3, the first production model on its Neue Klasse architecture, will go on sale in early November.
• The crossover delivers up to 800 km of WLTP range and supports 400 kW peak charging, outperforming Tesla’s Model Y in both metrics.
• Its next-generation Gen6 battery cells feature a 42% smaller carbon footprint per kWh compared with BMW’s previous prismatic cells.
• The iX3 applies a circular design with one third recycled inputs and is assembled at a fossil-fuel-free Debrecen plant, cutting production CO₂e by two-thirds and reaching carbon break-even within 22,000 km.
• BMW will roll out 40 Neue Klasse models by the end of 2027 as part of a broader strategy to reduce 40 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions by 2030.
