Something revolutionary from MINI is set to debut in Munich | Carscoops

      The BMW Group is set to reveal the iX3 and the Vision CE concept.

      MINI plans to introduce two JCW concepts at the upcoming Munich Motor Show next month. BMW Motorrad will also showcase an electric Vision CE concept.

      The highlight of the event will be the new iX3, which is expected to revolutionize the electric vehicle market.

      The Munich Motor Show kicks off next month, and the BMW Group aims to make a significant impact with a range of new debuts. In addition to the eagerly awaited BMW iX3, MINI will present two fresh concepts.

      Although the British brand is keeping details to a minimum for now, it has confirmed that “two striking JCW show cars will make their world premieres in Munich as part of an engaging presentation.” The company hinted that the concepts will be bold, showcasing the influence of motorsport as a core aspect of MINI's identity.

      On a related note, the iX3 is being touted as "one of the most important new vehicles in its history" as it marks the beginning of the second Neue Klasse era and features a striking design alongside a cutting-edge powertrain.

      The crossover will utilize new cylindrical battery cells with a 20% higher energy density compared to the prismatic cells currently in use. As a result, the iX3 50 xDrive is projected to achieve an EPA range of up to 400 miles (800 km WLTP / 900 km CLTC).

      Additionally, the iX3 will support bidirectional charging and offer a 400 kW DC fast charging capability, allowing it to gain over 217 miles (350 km) of range in just 10 minutes. Other notable features include more affordable and efficient motors, along with Panoramic iDrive and advanced driver assistance systems powered by AI.

      To emphasize this message, BMW Classic will showcase a 1961 1500, the inaugural model from the original Neue Klasse series. The automaker will also exhibit a variety of other eco-friendly vehicles, including the i4, i5, i7, iX, and M5 Touring plug-in hybrid.

      Moreover, BMW Motorrad will present the CE 02 and CE 04, along with a Vision CE concept that offers an intriguing glimpse into the future of fully electric scooters designed for urban environments.
