BMW Neue Klasse - The New BMW iX3 50 xDrive M Sport Pro lands in Malaysia - Prices start at RM378K for 805km WLTP range


Earlier today, BMW Malaysia introduced the New BMW iX3 50 xDrive M Sport Pro. This battery electric SUV has recently been given the “World Car of the Year” and “World Electric Vehicle of the Year” 2026. We are getting the New BMW iX3 50 xDrive M Sport Pro variant for the moment and this marks the arrival of the "Neue Klasse" portfolio in Malaysia Prices for the new variant starts at RM378,888 before insurance and is now available with a three-month payment holiday before the first instalment begins.

Like recent BMW releases, the Neue Klasse iX3 you see here in the pics represents BMW's latest styling cues for their upcoming range of vehicles. The front is where is differs if you are looking at things from the outside. The sides and rear incorporate design and styling cues which we are already familiar with in terms of BMWs over the past half a decade or so. The main difference in terms of exterior is the front end. The nose now features a smaller BMW double kidney grille rather than one that covers almost all of the front end. It seems the current design is to be a little more subtle and takes its styling after the original Neue Klasse cars from the early 1960s. These original cars started with the BMW 1500 from 1982 is important in that from it originated classic styling like the Hofmeister kink in almost all BMW cars since then. Aside from that, we got the famous 2002 series of cars and actually marks the start of modern BMW as we know it.
