BMW advances electric vehicle lineup with Neue Klasse and iX3 range records
BMW is advancing its electric vehicle strategy through the Neue Klasse platform, marked by several key developments across its i-series lineup. The company has opened orders for the BMW i3 50 xDrive First Edition, a model intended to compete in high-volume segments using sixth-generation eDrive technology.
In China, the BMW iX3 L (long wheelbase) has been introduced, featuring various configurations including the 30L, 40L, and 50L. A notable achievement was recorded during official road tests in China, where the iX3 50L reached a range of 1,030.2 kilometers on a single charge between Shenyang and Beijing, utilizing 800V high-voltage architecture and 46mm cylindrical cells.
Future developments include the highly anticipated electric M3, which is expected to utilize the Neue Klasse EV architecture and a quad-motor setup, potentially offering up to 1,000 metric horsepower. Additionally, the brand continues to see interest in its earlier electric models, such as the original BMW i3, which remains a recommended option in the used car market due to its innovative carbon fiber passenger cell and reliability in technical inspections.
