- BMW is expected to launch a new generation of 3 series cars in 2026.
- Neue Klasse sedan will be provided in ICE (3 Series) and EV (i3) derivatives.
- Although riding on different basis, these models look very similar.
Update 1/28: We include the next iteration of the BMW 3 Series and the fresh renderings of all the latest Intel and spy photos.
Today, cars may not dominate sales charts like SUVs, but these three series are not available. This compact car is still the cornerstone of the BMW lineup, and its inheritance has existed for half a century. Now, these three series are preparing for the next chapter. The new generation will be launched in 2026, and it will appear with two different flavors: full electric and internal combustion.
If it sounds familiar, it is because BMW has been using larger cars, the i5/5 series and i7/7 series for work display. The 3 Series (and its electric twins, i3 sedan) will follow similar scripts, providing buyers with the choice between old -fashioned horsepower and cutting -edge electric performance.

The latest prototype spy lens reveals the gas power and full version of the next -generation 3 Series. Although both share the “Neue Klasse” design language, the difference in proportion is explained. The ice prototype has a longer hood, the ratio of the sharp instrument panel to the axis and the more upright windshield. The combination of these elements makes it not look like redesigned by EV, but the extensive redesign of the current G20 generation BMW 3 Series.
Spy photos have stimulated the imagination of digital artists Theottle and Kelsonic. They created the renderings of the upcoming BMW 3 Series, and early glance at its potential external design.

Shark’s nose
BMW’s iconic shark nose shape can be returned here, sharply, sharply, the car’s movement posture. The effect is further strengthened by deeper, more aggressive front bumpers and clever explosives, and these mud boards will increase muscle without excessive indulgence. Qi Pingmen handles the latest cleaning aesthetics of BMW to keep the shapes consistent, while the twisting of greenhouses and Hofmester remains complete-although some traditions are unavailable.
With the prototype of temporary taillights, we must use imagination to fill the blank. Theottle’s rendering is inspired by the concept of Vision Neue Klasse in 2023, which contains a full -wide tail light cluster with modern LED graphics. On the other hand, the smaller LED of Kelsonik’s Takeings.
In addition, the rendering artist designed a unique bumper inspired by the clues of the BMW M department. This is consistent with the earliest prototype witnesses. This prototype has a sporty alloy wheels, a larger brake and a M -type four -type four -tube.

Although we have not seen the 3 Series prototype interior during the development test, we have a good understanding of the expectations. BMW has recently launched a panoramic IDRIVE system in CES, which is expected to drip into a new model.
The core of the newly set is the wide pillar to the cylindrical display installed at the bottom of the windshield. This customized screen is divided into three parts, which complements lower secondary information entertainment touch screens on the dashboard.
Two platforms, two paths
Unlike the i5/5 series and i7/7 series, on the same platform, BMW paired electric vehicles and ice models, the i3 and 3 series are considered to follow different paths. The full electric i3 sedan will share the NEUE KLASSE building shared with the upcoming Ix3 SUV, and it is reported that the 3 Series of Burning Power will insist on using the CLAR platform, which also supports the upcoming G45 X3. This will explain the difference between the proportion and style details we see in the i3 and ICE 3 series.
According to the content we see in the X3 of machinery, the next -generation 3 Series may provide a mild hybrid version of BMW -verified engine: 2.0 -liter four -cylinder engine and 3.0 liter inside line, which all upgraded to get better horsepower to get better horsepower. And fuel economy.
There is a mild hybrid M3 in the card
Interestingly, even a powerful M3 cannot immune electrification. However, as BMW officials told us in a recent trip, the next M3 will abandon the M5’s heavy plug -in hybrid setting and use a lighter mixed system. At the same time, for those who follow the ambitions of BMW electric vehicles, the full -electric four -wheeled motorcycle, which is equivalent to M3, has been developed, and is expected to melt the brave tires.

The current G20 generation of BMW 3 Series was the first stage in 2018, and the secondary changes arrived in 2022 and 2024. If BMW adheres to its usual timetable, this large number of updated versions-combined with the “new generation” brand and shape in 2026, it is on the street with the full electric Neue Klasse brother and sister i3 car.
