BMW iX3

There’s a new shape turning up in BMW showrooms around the country, and it marks a genuine reset for the brand’s electric ambitions. The BMW iX3 is the first model built on BMW’s new “Neue Klasse” architecture, and it’s landing in Australia through 2026 as two distinct SUVs — one aimed at value-conscious buyers, the other built for maximum range and performance. After a run of iX models that felt like transitional experiments, the iX3 reads like BMW finally settling on what an electric SUV from the brand should be.
