Explore BMW's 2026 model refresh, including the electric i3 with 708 km range, updated 7-Series, new X5, and next-gen 3-Series and M2.

BMW is gearing up for a major model lineup refresh, with several new vehicles and updates set to debut in 2026. Highlights include the electric i3, a refreshed 7-Series, a new X5, and next-generation versions of the 3-Series and M2.

The first to hit the market will be the electric BMW i3, a sedan built on the Neue Klasse platform. It boasts a range of up to 708 km and supports fast charging at up to 400 kW. Production kicks off in August, with deliveries starting later in the year.

The updated 7-Series will make its debut in April at the Beijing auto show. This model features a revised design and a new iDrive system with a panoramic display spanning the width of the windshield.

Summer will see the premiere of the new-generation X5, styled in line with the Neue Klasse philosophy. An all-electric iX5 variant has been confirmed, along with a future hydrogen-powered version.

Later this year, BMW will unveil the new 3-Series, which will offer gasoline engines, including the M350 xDrive with an inline-six. Additionally, the M2 coupe will gain all-wheel drive.

Among the new 2026 vehicles, the electric iX4 will also arrive, replacing the current X4 without an internal combustion engine option. At the same time, the company is phasing out production of the Z4 and 8-Series.
