The 2026 BMW iX3 is set to introduce Amazon's next-generation Alexa+ voice assistant, powered by generative AI. This groundbreaking integration, announced at CES 2026, marks a significant step in Amazon's strategy to embed its intelligent assistant across various consumer devices.
This collaboration between BMW and Amazon, a three-year endeavor, aims to overcome the long-standing challenges automakers face with in-car voice assistants.

Built on Amazon Bedrock, Alexa+ allows for customization using proprietary data, enabling features like seamless conversational continuity between home devices and the BMW iX3. This ensures drivers can manage tasks like navigation, music, and home security through intuitive voice commands.
