The BMW iX3 has been awarded 'Car of the Year 2026' by the British magazine Top Gear. This recognition highlights the importance of the model for BMW and the role it will play in the company's transition to electric mobility. The iX3 impressed the judging panel with its refreshed design, dynamic driving performance and technological innovations. According to Top Gear, the model boasts a range of 500 miles and a completely new interior. The iX3 is based on the philosophy of the Neue Klasse, which marks a radical change for BMW in the field of electromobility. The model sets new standards in performance, range and technology, and serves as a blueprint for the company's future models. BMW plans to introduce around 40 new models or updates by 2027, which will be based on the technologies introduced by the iX3. The new era for BMW begins with the i3 Sedan, which is expected to go into production in the second half of 2026.
