technologies.

Both the new BMW iX3 and the new BMW i3 are powered by the 6th generation of BMW eDrive technology (Gen6). A core feature of Gen6 eDrive is its high-voltage battery utilizing cylindrical cell technology. This advancement allows the new BMW iX3 to achieve a range of over 560 miles (900 km) on a single charge, while the new BMW i3 reaches a maximum range of over 620 miles (1,000 km). Thanks to the 800-volt "Neue Klasse" architecture, both models support DC fast charging with a peak capacity of 400 kW. This makes it possible to add up to 250 miles (400 km) of range in just ten minutes.

The new BMW 7 Series combines the luxury of a flagship sedan with innovative "Neue Klasse" technology, offering a comprehensive digital user experience centered around both the driver and passengers. Highlights include the new BMW Panoramic iDrive and significantly enhanced Level 2 driver-assistance systems. In many European countries, as well as the US and Canada, these systems allow for hands-free highway driving at speeds up to 80 mph (130 km/h), including automated lane changes. For China, this pioneering technology was specifically adapted to meet local market needs. One example is voice interaction: while BMW utilizes Amazon technology in Europe and the US, it employs a proprietary solution in China developed alongside local tech partners like DeepSeek. Working with companies such as Alibaba, DeepSeek, Amap, and Huawei, BMW is also developing additional digital functions and services deeply integrated into the Chinese ecosystem. For instance, in collaboration with Amap, BMW offers high-resolution, lane-accurate navigation in China that precisely visualizes complex traffic situations and urban hubs.

Starting with the BMW iX3L, BMW is also launching a new driver-assistance system specifically designed for Chinese traffic conditions. By the end of 2027, this system will be available in 12 BMW models in China, including the new 7 Series and the i3L. Another highlight of this new driver-assistance technology is the cooperative braking system. This feature allows the driver to influence the system with light braking while assistance is active, without deactivating the system entirely.

Furthermore, BMW is showcasing a redesigned vehicle from its hydrogen pilot fleet, which has been undergoing global testing since 2023. The new BMW iX5 Hydrogen is slated to become BMW’s first hydrogen fuel-cell production vehicle starting in 2028.
