Right before its debut later this year, BMW has now teased some first images of the 2025 BMW iX3 electric vehicle (EV) during its hot weather testing phase in South Africa. As usual, though, the car is dressed up in camo wrap to prevent prying eyes from visualising how the final product will look like.
The 2025 BMW iX3 will be the first of BMW’s new Neue Klasse range of cars, and will feature BMW’s Gen6 battery packs and electrically excited synchronous motors (EESM) on the rear axle, with xDrive models gaining an extra asynchronous motor (ASM) on the front axle.
BMW has also confirmed that Neue Klasse models, including the 2025 BMW iX3, will be built on the 800V electrical architecture. Battery packs used for EV cars built on this platform are said to have 30% faster charging, 30% more range, and 20% more cell density.

Detailed specifications of the 2025 BMW iX3’s electric drivetrain has – of course – yet to be confirmed yet, but from what BMW has shared about its Neue Klasse cars, the new iX3 could have an electric driving range upwards of 900 km (WLTP).
We can’t make out the finer details of the 2025 BMW iX3 from its camo, but the headlights and taillights were definitely adopted from last year’s Vision Neue Klasse X concept car. Though unconfirmed, BMWBlog reports that the upcoming EV SUV is rumoured to be a little bit longer, wider, have a longer wheelbase, and just a little bit shorter than before.
