All-New 2025 BMW iX3 Neue Klasse SUV Rendering Depicts Official Next-Gen Bimmer Styling

We already have a pretty good idea regarding what these new cars are going to look like, and recent spy shots of the all-new iX3 Neue Klasse SUV all but confirm the carmaker will look to evolve its current design language to the point where the overall philosophy is similar, but the details are different.

This rendering, courtesy of Kolesa, should represent a highly accurate depiction of the 2025 iX3, and as you can see, it sort of looks like a shrunken version of the current iX, but with a completely different front and rear fascia design.

Personally, I think BMW have had enough controversy for a while, so expect them to ditch those massive kidney grilles as seen on the iX, the all-new 7 Series or the 4 Series (among others), in favor of something a little more traditional, but still rather futuristic looking. I also expect them to ditch their split headlight designs, like what you get with the 7er, X7 and the iX. But that’s going to be somewhat of a slower process.

Anyway, let’s look at the rendering and go through everything we like and don’t like. For starters, it’s a good thing that it doesn’t have a massive Bugs Bunny teeth-like grille. I also like the horizontal taillights, as they look sharp and elegant. In terms of dislikes... it’s not that I hate anything about it, but rather that, as a whole, it looks sort of bland, don’t you think?

It’s not as pod-like as Mercedes’ ridiculous-looking EQE SUV, which is basically George Jetson’s car with wheels. But it’s not exciting to look at either. There aren’t any aggressive angles to it, like you get with an X4 for example, or even an X3 when viewed a certain way.

Like it or not, this is what next-gen BMW models are going to look like, but I have a feeling that once we see them next to their predecessors (in real life), we’ll get a better sense of just how modern/futuristic they are. It’s the same as with the all-new 7 Series, which may not look as dynamic as its predecessor, but side by side, the latter is clearly a less imposing product.

We expect BMW to unveil the all-new iX3 sometime in 2025, with production kicking off at the carmaker’s factory in Debrecen, Hungary, followed by Shenyang (China) and even Spartanburg (U.S.) getting their hands dirty. The iX3 and the i3 will be the first two Neue Klasse models to hit the streets, with BMW planning at least six other EVs based on this all-new architecture.
