Bowker BMW hosted a preview event at both Blackburn and Preston dealerships to mark the arrival of the new BMW iX3 ahead of its first UK deliveries in 2026.

The new model is the first production car built on BMW’s Neue Klasse platform and features dual electric motors, all-wheel drive and fast-charging capability of up to 400 kW. Guests at the Preston showroom viewed the SUV, which offers a WLTP range of up to 500 miles and an interior built around the Panoramic iDrive digital system.

The preview evening took place on 26 February, with visitors able to explore the vehicle’s design, battery technology and practical features, including a five-seat layout and a boot capacity of up to approximately 1,750 litres with seats folded. The event also included music from a live DJ and food served on site.

Bowker BMW Preston head of business Chris Eccles said: “Seeing the new iX3 in our showroom felt like a glimpse of what the next decade of motoring will look like. People were walking around it with real curiosity — the kind you get when something feels properly new – and it was great to watch customers exploring the tech and asking questions late into the evening.”

The model previewed is built in Debrecen, Hungary, with UK prices starting at £58,755 for the 50 xDrive. BMW states a usable battery capacity of around 108–109 kWh and a 10 to 80 per cent charging time of roughly 21 minutes on an ultra-rapid charger. Deliveries across Europe are scheduled to begin in early 2026.

The launch event at Bowker’s Preston and Blackburn centres was presented as an opportunity for customers and prospects to familiarise themselves with the first Neue Klasse model before ordering. Similar preview activities are expected as further Neue Klasse vehicles progress towards market.

Chris Eccles said: “Everyone who came along seemed to enjoy the chance to see the car before it officially lands. The mix of music, food and the new tech gave the night a relaxed feel, and we had plenty of conversations with people planning their next electric car.”

Bowker BMW has unveiled The Preston Eras, a richly detailed illustrated artwork created in collaboration with a local artist Kathryn Alice, celebrating the city’s extraordinary history, culture and creative spirit.

The piece, which spans centuries of Preston life, brings together prehistoric discoveries, industrial innovation, sporting legends, civic milestones, architecture, music, food and modern culture into a single illustration. Every section of the artwork has been meticulously researched and hand-drawn, resulting in a visual narrative that rewards close inspection and repeated viewing.

An Artist-Led Process Rooted in Research

The project was shaped by months of research, site visits and archival exploration. Drawing on sources including Lancashire Archives, the Harris Museum, and insights from local historians, businesses and cultural organisations, Kathryn Alice immersed herself in Preston’s story to ensure the artwork felt authentic and representative.

The Preston Eras is designed as a flowing visual “stretch” of the city, where prehistoric river life, Victorian innovation and modern culture exist side by side – encouraging viewers to uncover new details with every look.

Celebrating Local Enterprise and Innovation

Central to the artwork is Preston’s long-standing relationship with enterprise, transport and innovation – including the story of Bowker BMW itself. From W. H. Bowker Transport’s beginnings in 1919 to the modern, sustainability-led Bowker BMW Centre on Channel Way, the illustration reflects how local businesses have helped shape the city’s identity.

Many Preston businesses are woven naturally into the piece, sitting alongside historic landmarks such as, Winckley Square, Preston Bus Station and the Flag Market.

People, Sport and Cultural Icons

The Preston Eras also pays tribute to the people who have carried the city onto national and international stages.

Sporting legends such as Sir Tom Finney and the pioneering Dick, Kerr Ladies FC appear alongside figures from cricket, music, education and civic life.

The artwork acknowledges Preston’s influence on literature, comedy and pop culture too, with subtle references to Charles Dickens, Nick Park, Kathleen Ferrier and many others.

The full creative process and Kathryn’s commentary can be watched here:

Chery’s arrival into the UK market has been marked by an extraordinary milestone, with the all-new Tiggo 8 crowned Carwow’s Car of the Year 2026 – securing the top spot against long-established European and Asian rivals in the family SUV segment.

In a standout review, Mat Watson, Carwow’s Car Review Expert, described the Tiggo 8 as:

“Almost too good to be true”

The Tiggo 8’s triumph represents a remarkable achievement for Chery, with Carwow praising the model’s blend of space, quality, and value — particularly for families seeking a modern, seven-seat SUV without premium pricing.

Among the highlights is its cabin design, which Carwow describes as setting a new benchmark for quality at its price point.

The infotainment system also drew attention for its clarity and responsiveness, with load times compared to leading consumer tablets.

Customers can choose between petrol and plug-in hybrid powertrains, though the latter drew particular praise thanks to its usable electric range, low running costs, and noteworthy price advantage. 

Matt Watson also said,

“Chery’s debut to the UK market could hardly be more impressive. The Tiggo 8 is one of those cars that seems almost too good to be true – it’s a premium-feeling SUV with loads of space for seven occupants, a cutting-edge hybrid system, all the luxury kit you could want… yet it costs about the same as a European hatchback. If a Chinese car was ever going to conquer the market, it should be this one – it’s unbeatable value and feels like so much more than a budget family bus.”

Chery’s victory in Carwow’s top award underscores a significant shift in the UK market, with emerging brands now capable of challenging – and beating – established manufacturers on quality, technology, and overall ownership value.

Bowker Motor Group looks ahead to the launch of its new partnership with Chery Automobile in early 2026, with a brand-new dealership at Preston Docklands set to open soon.

Bringing Chery’s award-winning models – including the Tiggo 8 – to the region marks an exciting milestone for the Group and for customers seeking innovative, family-focused SUVs with outstanding value.

Bowker Motor Group has announced a new partnership with global vehicle manufacturer Changan, with a new dealership set to open in Preston in early 2026.

The Changan showroom will be located in the former BMW Motorrad dealership on the docks in Preston. It will showcase Changan’s full UK vehicle range. The launch forms part of Changan’s wider expansion into the UK market and marks the brand’s debut in Lancashire.

Paul Bowker, Chief Executive of Bowker Motor Group, said: “We’re excited to welcome Changan to Bowker. The brand is new to the UK but already well established internationally. For us, it is a perfect opportunity to bring something fresh to the region and give customers even more choice; all backed by the trusted Bowker name.”

Changan’s line-up includes a mix of electric, hybrid, and petrol vehicles designed for modern drivers. Among the first models to arrive at Bowker will be the Deepal S07, an electric SUV featuring advanced driving technology. The Preston dealership will offer new car sales, servicing, and full aftersales support.

Bowker Motor Group has signed an agreement to represent Chery Automobile in Preston, expanding its brand portfolio in the UK market.

The new Chery showroom will be located in the former BMW Motorrad dealership on the docks in Preston.

Founded in 1997, Chery has sold over 17 million vehicles in more than 100 countries and has been China’s leading passenger car exporter for 22 consecutive years. The brand recently launched in the UK with its Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 models, available in both petrol and hybrid variants. Further new model launches are planned for late 2025 and into 2026.
