Facts
- The iX3 was presented at the IAA in Munich on 5 September 2025, and production began in Debrecen, Hungary, in October 2025.[3][1]
- Panoramic Vision projects onto a black printed area along the bottom of the windscreen, from A-pillar to A-pillar, visible to every occupant; it holds up to six widgets.[2][3]
- The central touchscreen is angled toward the driver, and climate settings are made on it.[4][1]
- The traditional iDrive knob is gone: the steering wheel, whose haptic buttons light up only when relevant, is the main physical control surface.[5][2]
- Operating System X is developed in-house and, like Operating System 9, built on the Android Open Source Project.[2]
