en.Wedoany.com Reported - BMW confirmed to InsideEVs Brazil that its i5 and iX electric models have been discontinued in the Brazilian market. Both models have been removed from the brand's configurator, and the manufacturer has clearly stated they have exited the product portfolio in Brazil.
In response to InsideEVs Brazil, BMW issued the following statement: "BMW Group Brazil maintains its leadership position and offers the widest and most diverse range of premium electric vehicles on the market, including models such as the iX1, iX2, i4, and i7, which continue to meet the needs and preferences of customers across different segments. For strategic reasons, the BMW i5 and BMW iX models are no longer sold in Brazil."
With the exit of the i5 and iX, BMW's electric lineup in Brazil now consists of the iX1, iX2, i4, and i7, covering segments from compact SUVs to luxury sedans. The brand also revealed its next steps: "In the second half of the year, the all-new BMW iX3 will usher in a new era for the brand's electrification strategy in Brazil."
The all-new iX3, which made its global debut in 2025, is the first production model to feature BMW's Neue Klasse design language. The model is built on an architecture developed specifically for electric vehicles, utilizing an 800-volt system and next-generation batteries that support faster charging speeds. In the European market, its most efficient configuration offers a WLTP range of over 600 kilometers, with rear-wheel drive and xDrive all-wheel drive versions available. The vehicle also introduces the Panoramic Vision display system, which projects information across the entire lower section of the windshield, and supports bidirectional charging functions, including V2L, V2H, and V2G modes.
The timing of the i5 and iX discontinuation coincides with the upcoming entry of the all-new iX3 into the Brazilian market. Both discontinued models were positioned in narrower, higher-priced niches within the premium segment. BMW's restructuring of its electric vehicle portfolio in Brazil indicates a shift in focus towards the introduction of its new-generation dedicated electric platform, with the all-new iX3 seen as a key model in this transformation.
