BMW iX3 Neue Klasse 50 xDrive (EU)
The BMW iX3 is the first BMW model built on the all new Neue Klasse architecture, a dedicated EV platform.
It features a 6th generation 800 V powertrain, a distinctive design language, and a decentral zonal E/E architecture.
Key Features
- First BMW model built on the all new Neue Klasse architecture, a dedicated EV platform.
- 6th-generation 800V EV powertrain
- Energy-dense newly developed cylindrical cells, optimized for fast charging with up to 400 kW DC capability
- Dual-motor AWD with upgraded EESM at rear for efficiency and new ASM at front for compact design and cost efficiency
- Bidirectional charging with V2L, V2H, and V2G functions for home energy storage and grid integration
- Utilizes four high-performance controllers within a zonal architecture to minimize wiring and enable centralized computing for future software-defined capabilities
