BMW's New-Generation i3 to Debut at 2026 Guangzhou Auto Show With Unified Pricing, iX3 on Nov 25
BMW announced on November 9 that its first new-generation sedan, the BMW i3, will launch at the 2026 Guangzhou Auto Show and open ordering under a unified national-price model, with the deposit-and-pay channel activated in one step and no separate small deposit required; customer deliveries begin in the first quarter of next year. The new-generation BMW iX3 will officially launch on November 25 with deliveries to follow, and the all-new MINI Countryman will make its China debut at the same show. The dense rollout of next-generation EVs is the core thrust of BMW's electrification drive in China; the unified price and direct-deposit model streamline the purchase funnel, and the market will watch order conversion and delivery pacing. The moves intensify competition in the premium electric segment and accelerate product iteration across the industry.
