The next-generation BMW i3, codenamed NA0, is scheduled for launch in 2026, boasting significant redesigns and technological advancements. Departing from its familiar hatchback shape, the new i3 will be an electric sedan, aligning with the evolving preferences of electric vehicle owners. The most crucial change is its platform. BMW’s Neue Klasse (NCAR) architecture will underpin this new i3 and a whole new generation of electric vehicles. This innovative platform will debut in 2025 with the iX3 (NA5), setting the stage for BMW’s future electric lineup. Being an electric car, the range will play an important factor in the adoption of this new BMW i3. According to sources, the most efficient NA0 i3 could see up to 900 km of range, measured on the less stringent WLTP cycle. The EPA rating will likely be lower.
