Why? It\u2019s the only version available at launch. Series production begins at the end of this month, but BMW has already confirmed plans to expand the lineup. In the United States, more affordable 40 xDrive and 40 sDrive variants will arrive in 2027. A recent spy video of a camouflaged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/10\/21\/new-bmw-ix3-m-version-spy-video\/\">sporty prototype<\/a> also hints that an M Performance or full M version is in development.<\/p>\n<p>While the iX3 leads the Neue Klasse renaissance, sedan loyalists need not worry. A four-door i3 will launch next year, followed a few months later by a similarly styled next-gen 3 Series, aka the \u201cG50.\u201d For SUV fans, the new X5 \u201cG65\u201d will also debut next year, introducing a first-ever iX5 electric variant. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/09\/21\/2028-bmw-ix5-hydrogen-production-confirmed\/\">Teaser images<\/a> suggest it\u2019ll look like a larger sibling to the iX3, which shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s hoping you like the design language introduced with the iX3, because it\u2019ll spread across roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/03\/14\/bmw-launch-over-40-new-cars-until-2027\/\">40 models by the end of 2027<\/a>. Every new BMW launching in the next two years will also feature the updated dashboard layout with iDrive X at its core and the Panoramic Vision windshield projection.
