At its Capital Market Day 2026, the BMW Group provided deep insights into its corporate strategy. Among other announcements, the Munich-based automaker said it will unveil the all-electric iX4 later this year and plans to launch an electric compact car based on the Neue Klasse platform the year after next. The model will likely be called the BMW i1.<\/p>\n

Details about BMW\u2019s new all-electric entry-level model remain scarce. During the event, the company merely stated that the BMW Group aims to \u201cstrategically expand the high-volume entry segment with another all-electric model of the Neue Klasse in 2028\u2033, with a focus on the European market. This means a compact model will, for the first time, benefit from ‘Neue Klasse’ innovations.<\/p>\n

Speculation suggests this could be the BMW i1, internally referred to as NB0, as reported by the BMW-focused blog ‘Bimmer Today’. Indeed, as early as 2024, media reports emerged claiming BMW was planning two electric compact models, the i1 and i2. As the British car publication \u201cAutocar\u201d wrote at the time, the i1 could be offered as a compact hatchback or a compact saloon, depending on the market. However, no further details about the body style have been confirmed to date.<\/p>\n

iX4 later this year<\/h4>\n

Following the rollout of the Neue Klasse platform\u2019s technologies \u2013 first with the all-electric SUV iX3<\/a> and, more recently, with the all-electric saloon i3<\/a> \u2013 a presentation at the Capital Market Day revealed that the all-electric iX4 will also be unveiled later this year.<\/p>\n

This is expected to be an electric SUV coup\u00e9 resembling the iX3, and it will likely also be produced in Debrecen, Hungary. The previous combustion-engine X3 similarly had an SUV coup\u00e9 variant called the X4.<\/p>\n

At the same time, BMW emphasizes that the Neue Klasse offers \u201ccompetitive technology across the entire portfolio and all drivetrain types,\u201d meaning that at least some components will also be used in hybrid and combustion-engine vehicles.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
With the first models of the Neue Klasse, BMW believes it has also laid the foundation for the next generation of digital vehicles. BMW will deploy the new zonal electrical\/electronic architecture across all vehicle segments in the future. This approach aims to reduce complexity, leverage economies of scale, and make new functions available to customers more quickly.<\/div>\n

AI-defined<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The ‘Neue Klasse’ already demonstrates how intelligent software and artificial intelligence optimize the customer experience, according to the Munich-based automaker. These technologies form the ideal basis for the next evolutionary step: the ‘AI-Defined Vehicle’.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In this concept, the focus will shift from individual functions to the intuitive interplay of the entire vehicle, across all domains and contexts. From driver assistance to infotainment and basic comfort functions, all systems will interact seamlessly and intelligently, depending on the situation.<\/div>\n
\n

BMW management already considers the Neue Klasse a complete success just months after its market launch: as reported, the iX3 has already received over 100,000 orders<\/a>, with more than 30,000 units delivered to date.<\/p>\n

The iX3 order books remain filled well into the second quarter of 2027. Additionally, the company says the iX3 has already achieved margin parity with combustion-engine models in key markets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
