By 2026, Chinese automotive overseas expansion was no longer news. But what truly captured interest was the path the all-new Chery QQ3 took in Southeast Asia—debuted at the Thailand Bangkok Motor Show and securing over 3,000 orders immediately; in the Indonesian market, pre-sale orders exceeded 6,000 units before the pre-sale period even ended. What makes Thais and Indonesians fight to buy a Chinese A0-class pure electric compact car with an entry price of about 70,000 RMB?
The answer consists of only four words: No special versions.
Global unified standards, rejecting 'Overseas special versions with reduced specs'
Over the past few decades, multinational automakers played the "special version" game—standards for Europe and America, standards for China, and standards for Southeast Asia. Reduced specs, cutbacks, save wherever possible. But Chery's all-new QQ3 took a path contrary to industry intuition: overseas naming as Chery Q, adhering to global unified platforms, unified three-electric systems, unified cockpits, only adjusting right-hand drive for Southeast Asian road conditions, IP68 battery waterproofing, and high-temperature heat dissipation reinforcement, absolutely no touching core configurations and safety standards.
Chery QQ Principal Zhang Hongyu said plainly: "The Chinese market is just one part of the all-new QQ; from birth, it was built as a global car according to global standards. The Chery Q you buy in Thailand, the Chery Q you buy in Indonesia, the QQ3 you buy in China, all share the same chassis, battery, and car infotainment system, even the same 8155 chip."
Chassis architecture, battery safety, body structure all synced with domestic standards, having undergone global multi-regional rigorous testing. Chery Indonesia management said it even more plainly: "Opening up the Indonesian market, quality priority is always higher than short-term profits."
Product capability significantly ahead, 10 items unique in class, 13 items leading in class
Many people think Southeast Asian consumers don't know cars. Wrong.
62% of orders in Thailand came from female users. They might not know what hot-formed steel means, but they know this car has 540-degree panoramic image, automatic parking, exterior voice control, 70L intelligent electric front trunk. They compared it to BYD Atto 1, Geely EX2, Wuling Air EV. They calculate the bills: Same price range, who offers more?
The all-new QQ3 offers: 70L intelligent electric front trunk, 1300MPa integrated hot-formed door ring, Qualcomm 8155 chip, 15.6-inch 2.5K large screen, 50:50 axle load ratio rear drive. In Southeast Asia's same-level category, it is a significant lead.
Battery offers 29.48kWh and 41.28kWh two options, top trim CLTC range 420km, from 30% fast charge to 80% only needs 16.5 minutes. In Bangkok such congested and narrow alley co-existing urban areas, agile body and ultimate space layout provides passage and parking elegant solutions. 2700mm wheelbase, 85% space utilization rate, A0-class appearance, B-class car space. Electricity cost per 100km only 5 Thai Baht, usage cost advantage outstanding.
Red Dot Design Award support, called "World's Three Small Ones" along with SMART, MINI
The all-new QQ3 sets its own position as "World's Three Small Ones, China has QQ" — listed alongside German SMART, British MINI. Relying on what?
Relying on Red Dot Design dual awards — 2025 concept car award, 2026 mass production car award, 2026 intelligent cockpit HMI award again. "Light Geometry" design created by Red Dot team stands out exceptionally self-consistent in Bangkok's urban landscape. 2700mm extra-long wheelbase, 82% high-strength steel, 16% hot-formed steel fortress body, 16.5 minute fast charge, rear-wheel drive, four-wheel independent suspension — these hard strengths placed together have long surpassed the category of "small cars."
20 years of emotional accumulation, from product output to brand rooting
Chery QQ entered Thailand and Indonesian markets as early as 2006, accompanying two generations of Southeast Asian consumers grow up. Chery Thailand General Manager Jim Lee said plainly, 20 years companionship is the most valuable intangible asset for brand deep cultivation in local market, large batch of middle-aged family users actively placed orders due to nostalgia feelings.
Nostalgia can be sold once, cannot be sold twice. If all-new QQ3 was a reduced spec version, special version, those users who ordered because "sat in QQ when young" would drag Chery down for life. So Chery made a decision contrary to industry intuition — global unified standards, upgrade national commuter car to global premium small car IP.
Going overseas is not dumping, it is rooting
Many Chinese brands going overseas just sell cars, sell then leave, after-sales left to fate. How does all-new QQ3 do? Thailand July launched first delivery, first batch shipped 2,000 units, dealers increased from 55 to 70, offer whole vehicle lifetime warranty. Thailand market scheduled at 449,900 to 519,900 Thai Baht, on launch day cumulative orders broke 3,000 units. Indonesian market July 31 landed GIIAS motor show officially on sale, price range 239.9 million to 264.9 million Indonesian Rupiah, as of end of July order volume broke 6,000 units. Overseas hot sales and domestic market formed strong linkage, domestic launch first month orders broke 56,000 units.
QQ series once sold well in over 100 countries globally, 2005 monthly sales broke 10,000, 2011 cumulative sales broke 1 million, 2014 reached 1.5 million units, held the micro-car export champion title for 7 consecutive years. Now, all-new QQ3 with pure electric appearance renews overseas export, Thailand, Indonesia two places synchronous explosion of orders, marks Chery with dual core market as pivot Southeast Asia layout, has completed from product output to brand rooting crossing.
Chery proposed "Happiness Equality" globalization concept — domestic and overseas consumers enjoy identical configurations. When a car can fuse international aesthetics, local wisdom and universal emotions, it can let "Happiness" this human common language cross mountains and seas. This might be exactly the deepest level answer why all-new QQ3 triggered phenomenon-level hot sales in Southeast Asia.
8 月 12 日，風雲 T7 正式啟動預售。三款車型，價錢由 10.99 萬蚊至 12.99 萬蚊，同步推出七重購車權益。
呢場發佈會嘅主題係「慢工出好車，久等了」。六個字，兩層意思：一係承認畀用戶等咗好耐，二係說明呢台車確實花咗時間去打磨。
喺新能源車恨不得半年一換代嘅節奏入面，講「慢」係要勇氣嘅。但風雲 T7 嘅慢，有佢嘅邏輯——佢行咗一條反向路線：先去咗海外市場轉一圈，再返嚟面對中國用戶。
倚靠奇瑞二十幾年嘅全球化技術積累，風雲 T7 將全球標準當作底線嚟打。品質生活六個維度嘅剛需——靚相、安全、出行、智能、舒適、安心——佢唔係一項項滿足，而係一齊全部裝入。通勤代步、長途穿越、戶外露營、全家出動，呢啲場景佢都要頂得住。
先講靚相。奇瑞喺全球有十個設計中心，呢台車嘅外觀係中外五千多名用戶一齊投票投出嚟嘅。同源車型仲喺米蘭設計周亮相過。御風前臉、風塑絲綢車身、天際霞光尾門，行嘅唔係激進路線，係嗰種耐看嘅東方味道。六種車身顏色，漆面標準同海外市場一樣嚴格。
內飾兩種風格可選，雲翼環抱座艙，軟包覆面積唔細，揚聲器、縫線呢啲細節夠細睇。重點係所有內飾材料都做咗抗老化處理，用幾年唔會明顯褪色變形——呢件事好多車主介意，但好少車廠明講。
安全方面，風雲 T7 對標嘅係 2026 版 E-NCAP 五星標準，功能安全做到 ASILD 最高等級。數字可能枯燥，但背後嘅功夫係：2 年策劃、3 年研發、81 台耐用車同步路試，整車累計測試超 600 萬公里，專門針對東南亞雨季、中東高溫、印尼高濕呢啲極端環境做實測。
車身結構上，80% 高強度鋼，18.84% 熱成型鋼，九橫五縱籠式車身。正面 9 條碰撞傳力路徑，側面 6 條，撞擊時可以把力分散開，俾乘客留出生存空間。9 個安全氣囊，包括 48L 雙腔遠端氣囊同後排側氣囊。
電池安全係另一道防線。犀牛電池嘅 6D 防護能頂得住擠壓、穿刺、衝擊，IP68 防水等級係國標嘅 96 倍。雨季積水、戶外涉水，唔使驚電池短路。
出行剛需，核心係續航。全系標配 65.05kWh 電池，CLTC 續航 600 公里，實測跑出過 667 公里以上。呢件事好有意思——反向虛標，說明車廠保守咗。30% 到 80% 嘅快充需要 20 分鐘，剛剛好一杯咖啡嘅工夫。
針對北方用戶，熱管理系統用咗雙源寬熱泵空調加高壓 PTC，-30°C 到 55°C 都能穩定運作。AGS 智能進氣格柵同 14 項低風阻優化，令高低速能耗都更穩定。
智能座艙用嘅係座駕一體 8775 芯片，4nm 製程，72TOPS 算力，響應 80 毫秒。15.6 吋 2.5K 大螢幕，防眩光防指紋，CarPlay、HiCar、CarLink 三種手機互聯全覆蓋。靈犀智艙 2.0 入面有一套好有意思嘅語音角色——東北阿姨、語文老師、故事大王，車內氣氛可以隨時切換。
輔助駕駛方面，22 顆傳感器（3 毫米波雷達 +7 鏡頭 +12 超聲波雷達），能覆蓋 300 多種泊車場景。死胡同泊車、一鍵循跡倒車、跨樓層泊車，呢啲有難度嘅操作佢都能自己完成。
空間係風雲 T7 嘅一個亮點。4570mm 車長，2700mm 軸距，車內實用率 84%。後排純平地台，腳部空間 911mm，同級裡算寬敞。後排放倒能變成 1955mm 嘅純平大牀，尾箱由 450L 擴展到 1550L。38 處儲物格，4 個承重 300kg 嘅鉚環，2 個承重 3kg 嘅掛鉤——露營裝備、大件貨物都能固定住。
座椅 9 層結構，通風加熱都有。加熱三級可調，-20°C 環境下 5 分鐘能到 30°C。通風係抽風設計，夏日後背唔出汗。
底盤由瑪莎拉蒂前底盤調校專家領銜嘅團隊打磨，50.8:49.2 嘅黃金軸荷比，過彎同直路行駛嘅穩定性都有唔錯嘅表現。
最後講權益。奇瑞推出咗兩個兜底保障：一係電池自身原因導致熱失控損毀，賠新車；二係購車一年內，因智能駕駛系統原因喺泊車或領航場景出意外，最高賠償 500 萬。另外仲有整車終身質保同每年一次嘅終身基本保養。
由全球研發、全球設計、全球製造，到全球路試驗證，風雲 T7 呢條先出海再返國嘅路線，喺當下中國汽車市場入面顯得好另類。但佢用一整套紮實嘅產品邏輯，回應咗品質家庭六個維度嘅核心需求。
呢部車唔急。但等佢嘅人，大概唔會失望。#風雲 T7

80 萬買車嘅人，會揀邊個答案？銷量榜寫得好清晰：吉利星願。上市 21 個月，80 萬用戶真金白銀投票，將呢款 A0 級細車送上銷冠寶座。有人問，點解係佢？拋開營銷濾鏡，拆開睇下呢台細車嘅硬核家底，你會發現：爆款，從來唔係靠運氣，而係靠實打實嘅越級產品力。
一、好電池，唔玩開盲盒
細車最怕咩？續航虛標、電池唔穩陣。星願直接俾你食定心丸：全系搭載寧德時代電芯，唔分版本、唔論批次，用戶永遠唔使開盲盒。搭配全域液冷溫控系統，CLTC 續航最高 480km，常溫實測續航兌現率超 100%；30% 到 80% 快充只需 19 分鐘，補能效率同級領先。再加配神盾電池安全系統同 11 合一智能電驅，從電芯防護到 BMS 智能管理全鏈路護航。電池呢塊，星願將「省心」焊死喺車上。
二、好底盤，新手都敢撒歡
單有好好電池唔夠，開得爽先係真本事。星願嘅底盤係拿真功夫磨出嚟嘅：中德聯合調校、後置後驅 + 多連桿獨立懸架全系標準配備，4.95m 轉彎半徑，窄巷掉頭一把過。今年 1 月，團隊仲同路特斯工程遠赴瑞典，喺零下 30℃嘅冰雪度反覆打磨 ESC 同防滑系統，將賽道經驗沉淀做日常嘅穩。130km/h 魚鉤測試、80.7km/h 麋鹿測試，同級唯一。溫州車主大霧天兩次緊急避讓化險為夷，就係呢套底盤最好嘅活廣告。
三、好安全，硬碰硬唔心虛
駕控係面子，安全先係里子。星願同央視挑戰正面 50km/h+ 側面 55km/h 連續碰撞，高壓系統秒斷電，電池包唔冒煙唔起火，乘員艙結構完整；AEB 120km/h 剎停、AES 130km/h 主動避讓，主動被動安全直接拉滿。成都一位車主嘅車被廂式貨車追尾，撞成「全損級」卻毫髮無傷，事後又提咗一台星願；泰國車主被 18 輪重卡追尾擠撞，同樣安然脫險。安全呢類事，星願從來唔玩虛嘅。

The most "BMW" car is no longer BMW's most important car.
By｜Hu Chengxu Edit｜Mao Shiyan
Auto Pixel (ID:autopix)Original
BMW's best news and worst news arrived at almost the same time.
At the end of July, BMW reached a milestone in Debrecen, Hungary. The group's first all-electric exclusive factory produced its 50,000th Neue Klasse iX3.
Orders are growing faster than production ramp-up. From production start to the 50,000th unit roll-off, it took only nine months, while iX3 orders in Europe are approaching 100,000. BMW disclosed that for every three new electric vehicle orders in Europe, one belongs to the iX3.
To catch up with demand, the Debrecen factory started a second shift earlier, and hundreds of employees were transferred from the China factory for support.
In the first half of 2026, the iX3 also swept the World Car of the Year and World Electric Vehicle awards.
This is probably BMW's best new product start in the last decade. However, within the same period, several other things happened.
On July 29, BMW reached an agreement with the Works Council to launch a voluntary redundancy plan starting in October, cutting approximately 8,000 jobs globally by the end of 2027, accounting for 5.2% of its 154,500 employees. The cuts fell on R&D, planning, and functional departments in Germany, effectively slicing off one-fifth of BMW's white-collar jobs in Germany.
On July 30, BMW released its financial report for the first half of 2026. Net profit attributable to shareholders was 2.858 billion euros, down 25.75%. Pre-tax profit in the second quarter was 1.7 billion euros, a year-on-year decline of 35.1%.
The automotive business operating profit margin dropped by more than half year-on-year, and free cash flow decreased by 73.4%. These factors caused BMW's stock price to fall by about 39% this year, touching a 52-week low in late July.
The huge hole dragging down BMW's performance is in China. In the first half, BMW China's sales fell 20.4% year-on-year, and the second quarter's decline widened to 30.2%. With sales continuing to lose speed, China's record of consistently being BMW's largest single market for 12 consecutive years was ended, and its share of BMW's global sales dropped from a peak of 33.5% to 25.5%.
But in China, where BMW's new energy transformation needs to be tested the most, new cars arrived the latest. The domestic version of iX3 will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year.
Thus, strong sales in Europe are a good start, but it cannot yet prove it is the answer. The old market is losing speed, and the new anchor has not yet completed the hardest verification.
01
BMW Once Only Needed One Car
The last time BMW used the name "Neue Klasse" was in 1962. That time, it saved the company.
Before that, BMW had walked to the edge of being absorbed. Daimler-Benz proposed a takeover and restructuring plan. Before the December 1959 shareholder meeting, the deal was once considered a foregone conclusion. It was not until minority shareholders and employee representatives opposed it on the spot that the plan was vetoed, and BMW barely retained independence.
At that time, its product line was almost severed in the middle. One end was cheap micro-cars and motorcycles like the Isetta, while the other end was expensive V8 sedans like the 501 and 502. In the middle, there was no mainstream product that could contribute scale and profits simultaneously.
Marketing Director Paul Hahnemann saw this gap: a family sedan with displacement between 1.5 and 2.0 liters, high quality, and a sports character.
At the 1961 Frankfurt Motor Show, the BMW 1500 made its debut. This series was called "Neue Klasse".
▍BMW 1500 at the 1961 Frankfurt Motor Show
The four-door body abandoned the 501's elaborate styling and turned towards a more restrained, function-focused design. Von Falkenhausen developed the M10 engine for it and persuaded management to increase the displacement from the initial idea of 1.3 liters to 1.5 liters, while leaving space for expansion to 2.0 liters.
On the rear side of this car, at the junction of the C-pillar and the body, the "Hofmeister kink", a fold line turning forward, appeared for the first time, which later became BMW's signature.
But these elements that later defined BMW did not immediately bring a sales legend. The 1500 was produced for over two years, with full lifecycle sales of 23,800 units. What truly changed BMW's fate was the product template it provided. The four-door Neue Klasse was produced cumulatively for 339,800 units. The 02 series, shortened and simplified from it, sold over 820,000 units.
From 1960 to 1970, BMW's sales tripled, and revenue growth exceeded seven times. In 1963, nearly two decades after the dividend suspension, BMW resumed dividends to shareholders.
The M10 engine was produced until 1988, cumulatively exceeding 3.5 million units, and later spawned M12 and M13 turbocharged models for the F1 arena. In 1966, it lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in under 10 minutes.
That same year, BMW put the Neue Klasse technology and sports character into a more compact and cheaper car, and the 02 series was born. In 1975, its successor officially adopted a new name: the 3 Series.
From 1975 to now, the 3 Series has cumulatively sold over 16 million units, making it BMW's best-selling series. Luxury mid-size sedans have long used the 3 Series as the benchmark; Audi A4, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Lexus IS, and even the later NIO ET5 all treated it as an archnrival.
More importantly, it turned sports character into a product logic that BMW could replicate generation after generation.
BMW's official positioning of the 3 Series has always been clear. In 2024, the wording was that for nearly 50 years, the 3 Series has always represented the core (the core of the BMW brand) of the BMW brand; in 2022, it was called the heart (the heart of the BMW brand) of the brand; when the new i3 was released in 2026, the 3 Series was still emphasized as the essence (the essence of the BMW brand) of the BMW brand.
These are not just rhetoric. Over the past few decades, many of BMW's key technologies and product concepts first became complete cars on the 3 Series before spreading to other products.
In 1985, the second-generation 3 Series E30 launched the 325iX, becoming BMW's first four-wheel-drive sedan, laying the starting point for the xDrive that later covered the entire series.
▍Third-generation 3 Series from 1990 to 1998
By the third-generation 3 Series E36, the 3 Series began to define BMW's driving experience more deeply. The Z-link multi-link rear suspension was extended to sedan, two-door, and wagon versions, and the center console was also significantly tilted towards the driver. "Driver-oriented" was established as a replicable cockpit layout.
In the past six decades, BMW's method of expanding its product line was essentially to replicate the 3 Series, scale it up to 5 Series and 7 Series, scale it down to 1 Series, and elevate it to X3 and X5. As long as the answer of the 3 Series stands, BMW's product line stands.
But in the EV era, BMW took the premiere rights of "Neue Klasse" from the 3 Series, and also took away the power to define the next generation of BMW.
02
The Next Generation BMW,
No Longer Starting with the 3 Series
In September 2025, BMW reactivated the "Neue Klasse" name at the Munich IAA. But the first car was not the i3, but the iX3. Six months later, the i3 was released, officially referred to only as the "second Neue Klasse model".
Technical premiere rights were also moved. The Driving Super Brain Heart of Joy, which best embodies BMW's differentiation, as well as sixth-generation electric drive, large-format cylindrical cells, and Panoramic iDrive, were all first deployed on the iX3.
The i3 launched next year, every technology it receives, was received by the iX3 first.
In terms of wording, the change in status can even be seen. For example, for a certain function, the official wording for the iX3 was "the smoothest parking process in BMW history", while the i3 was described as "the smoothest parking process in 3 Series history", the scope was proactively narrowed.
In Q1 2026, global deliveries of the 3 Series and 4 Series totaled 103,800 units, down 11.8% year-on-year; X3 grew by 18.5% year-on-year, of which a considerable proportion came from the iX3. Analysts believe the iX3 could push the X3 family to the top of BMW's sales list by the end of 2026.
BMW's definition of the i3 has also regressed from "defining the entire series" back to "continuing 3 Series DNA", and the task of defining the next generation of products has been handed over to the SUV.
BMW is not the first to do this.
Tesla had the sedan Model 3 first in 2017, and the SUV form Model Y only in 2020, but the latter is the anchor that determines Tesla's product configuration. Model Y is not only Tesla's best-selling car globally, but also the foundation for its subsequent products, such as Cybercab.
Li Auto is even more thorough, and has not yet launched a sedan.
Behind this is first the engineering reality. The BEV platform lays a battery about 10 cm thick under the floor, which is naturally more suitable for higher-bodied SUVs. The battery gives SUVs the low center of gravity that sedans once had exclusively, but it does not give sedans the space of SUVs. Therefore, the mainstream configuration of the new energy era tilts towards SUVs.
But more importantly, the "driving dynamics" represented by sedans could almost support all of BMW's value in the ICE era; in the EV era, it is still important, but only one layer of product capability. Space, comfort, and cockpit experience, SUVs are rather easier to make comprehensive.
This means the 3 Series can no longer represent the Neue Class BMW. But the 3 Series stepping down does not mean the iX3 has completed the succession.
Beyond driving dynamics, the intelligent driving, cockpit, and ecosystem that determine the victory or defeat of new energy vehicles in China, BMW relies heavily on public suppliers. The China-spec iX3 adopts Momenta intelligent driving, while Momenta also supplies Mercedes, Audi, and IM Motors. In the capabilities consumers value most, BMW stands on the same foundation as rivals.
To re-establish differentiation, BMW almost rewrote the domestic iX3. 70% of the OS code was rewritten by the Chinese team, intelligent driving was co-developed again, and the cockpit integrated Alibaba, DeepSeek, Huawei, and Gaode.
The trade-off was time. The overseas version was delivered this March, and the domestic version will be launched in the fourth quarter.
Peculiarly, the market where BMW has the deepest problems, the new product arrived the latest. Mercedes has already compressed the pure electric GLC to 299,900 yuan, and Chinese new EV players have also completed several rounds of iteration in the same price range.
Meanwhile, starting from July this year, the domestic i3 and iX1 entered the production halt process, and i5 production was suspended. BMW cleaned up the previous generation of electric products to free up production lines and resources for the Neue Class models.
This led to it having virtually no domestic pure electric models for sale, with a new energy penetration rate in China of only about 6% in the first quarter, while the overall market in China has already exceeded 50%.
So, the iX3 has not yet taken the most critical exam. Its success in Europe can only prove that BMW made a decent car, but it has not yet proven in the global competition's most fierce and cutting-edge new energy market that it is sufficient to become the anchor of the next generation of BMW.
03
iX3 Is Not Yet The New Anchor
In 2020, BMW also made an iX3.
It rolled off the line at the Shenyang Dadong Plant, it was BMW Brilliance's first truly global model. All iX3s sold worldwide came from the same plant and were all the same car.
Six years later, the new generation iX3 has two versions. The standard wheelbase version is produced in Debrecen, Hungary, for Europe and the US; the long wheelbase version is produced in Shenyang, for China, as well as India, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
With the same car name, selling one car globally has become two distinctly different products.
In the ICE era, domestic BMWs would also be lengthened. At that time, the long wheelbase version and standard wheelbase version still shared the same core technology, just different dimensions. Now operating systems, intelligent driving solutions, AI engines, and ecosystem systems have all gone down different paths.
The fundamental divergence is demand. The 3 Series can be unified globally because the market demand for good-handling mid-size sedans is consistent. For the new energy market where the iX3 belongs, the demands on both sides are already different; the Chinese market values intelligence, rear seat experience, and ecosystem connectivity more.
This also pushes the problem to a deeper level. If a car entrusted with a global anchor role must be rewritten after entering the most competitive market, can it still represent globally?
Furthermore, the victory won by the iX3 in Europe, the time may not be plentiful.
In April this year, the sales share of Chinese brands in the European electric vehicle market exceeded 15% for the first time, and the overall market share rose to 9.8%. In May, monthly new car registrations of Chinese automakers in Europe exceeded Japanese automakers for the first time. In the first quarter, exports to Europe reached 438,400 units, a year-on-year increase of 84.7%.
What mainly blocks domestic carmakers is tariffs. The combined tax rate for some domestic new energy vehicles in Europe reaches up to 45.3%. Even bearing high tariffs, the BYD Dolphin Surf (corresponds to the domestic Dolphin) is still cheaper than the same-class Renault 5 in Germany.
And this barrier is being bypassed. BYD, Chery, and Geely are turning tariffs from long-term barriers into phased costs by building factories in Europe or utilizing existing capacity.
More critically, the iX3 is absent from not just an ordinary market, but a place where global new energy competition premiered early. The demand changes happening in China today may well be the preview for other markets in the coming years.
This consolidation has already begun. Geely's G-ASD became the first Chinese driver assistance system to pass EU certification; XPeng has also brought intelligence into Europe as a lever for future competition.
They are betting on Europe's next stage. After electrification, competition will continue to migrate towards intelligence, and gradually approach today's China.
This means the China-spec iX3 is not just BMW's catch-up for a regional market, but also verifying the answer for the next round of global competition for it. The problem is that this verification has not started, and the time and profit space left for BMW have tightened simultaneously.
The semi-annual report released on July 30 maintained the automotive business profit margin guidance of 1% to 3%, this range was significantly reduced from 4% to 6% in June.
BMW's "voluntary redundancy plan" will last from October this year to the end of 2027, and true improvement in profitability will not come until 2028. The product battle that decides victory or defeat, however, has already started from Q4 2026.
BMW is not without the conditions to make long-term decisions. In 1962, Herbert Quandt dared to bet the entire company, and the governance structure relied upon that by stable family holding, allowing enterprises to bet across cycles still exists, and the Quandt family still holds about half of BMW's shares.
But things have changed.
In 1962, BMW had just walked out from the edge of being acquired. The Neue Class of that year was its all-in direction.
In 2025, BMW's global deliveries were about 2.17 million units. The iX3 is just the first of 40 future Neue Class products.
Today's BMW can no longer complete its transformation by relying on one car, one market, and one set of answers. This is where BMW is safer than in 1962, and also where it is harder than in 1962.
