The 2026 BMW i3 has debuted as an all-electric sedan and the second Neue Klasse model, with the first being the 2025 iX3. On the outside, the i3 sports a rakish new design language that blends the simplicity of classic BMWs with new-age touches. The i3's interior leans fully into modernity, though, offering a 17.9-inch touchscreen with a new AI assistant, an edge-to-edge Panoramic Vision display at the far end of the dashboard, Level 2 ADAS, ambient lighting, and more. Based on an 800V platform, the i3 will be available only in '50 xDrive' guise initially, which comprises a dual-motor powertrain developing 469hp and 645Nm. WLTP range stands at a whopping 900km and charging speeds of up to 400kW are supported, allowing for a 400km range top-up in just 10 minutes.
