A replacement for the iX3 is coming in 2025, with a globally available i3 sedan to follow in 2026. We believe another body style in the works is a wagon as the i3 Touring. It\u2019s known internally as the \u201cNA1\u201d and is unlikely to come out sooner than 2027.<\/p>\n<p>A new speculative rendering by an independent artist attempts to see into the probable future of an i3 Touring. Predictably, it takes design cues from the pair of Neue Klasse concepts we\u2019ve seen so far. Since this design exercise isn\u2019t endorsed by BMW, don\u2019t expect the real thing to be a spitting image of this.

That said, it remains to be seen whether wagons are going to have such a low and nearly flat roofline. The greenhouse is smaller than on both the 3 Series Touring G21 and its bigger brother, the 5 Series Touring G61. We hope the actual i3 wagon will have bigger windows for greater outward visibility and to allow more light inside the cabin.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re finding the imaginary electric wagon rather dull, BMW is reportedly cooking up a fully fledged M version. It\u2019s said to carry the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/09\/15\/bmw-codenames-neue-klasse-m3-touring-ix3m-ix4m\/\">\u201cZA1\u201d codename<\/a> and won\u2019t be marketed as the iM3 Touring. The German luxury brand has already ruled out combining \u201ci\u201d with \u201cM\u201d for Neue Klasse models. Technically, that has happened already with the i4 M50, i5 M60, iX M60, and the i7 M70 but those are M Performance cars.<\/p>\n<p>If an M variant of the i3 Touring is planned, it\u2019s likely to come out in 2028 at the earliest.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=udb6hqWwRPE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Theottle \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BMW Neue Klasse Touring\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/udb6hqWwRPE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although BMW is working on several Neue Klasse-based electric vehicles, only a crossover and a sedan have been confirmed thus far.
