BMW is giving us a glimpse into its future with the unveiling of the Vision Neue Klasse concept, showcased at the IAA Mobility 2023 International Motor Show in Germany where subsidiary Mini also revealed its new all-electric models.

BMW Vision Neue Klasse concept

The Vision Neue Klasse concept features advanced in-car features, an electric vehicle (EV) powertrain, and sustainable materials. It has a modern-looking and futuristic exterior design, which led BMW to describe it as a vehicle that sort of “skipped a model generation.”    

“The BMW Vision Neue Klasse combines our ability to innovate in the core areas of electrification, digitalization, and circularity,” said BMW AG Chairman of the Board of Management Oliver Zipse.

It features the BMW Panoramic Vision

Finished in Joyous Bright paint, the Vision Neue Klasse concept features the brand’s signature kidney grille apparent in models like the M2 G87. It is designed with a shark nose front end, 21-inch aerodynamic wheels, and blacked-out side skirts and bumpers.

The contemporary styling continues into the interior, coming with a clean layout by reducing analog controls to a minimum. Like most modern EVs such as the Kia EV9, the concept is developed with sustainable materials, preventing the use of decorative chrome or leather.

The cabin aims to bring a comfortable atmosphere

Moreover, the interior has the brand’s Panoramic Vision with an innovative head-up display – which was teased earlier this year during the 2023 CES in Las Vegas. The next-gen BMW iDrive infotainment system is enabling the intelligent personal assistant, providing a “tried-and-tested” voice control.

Power comes from the sixth-gen BMW eDrive technology run by newly developed round battery cells. While the numbers are yet to be disclosed, the automaker promises the EV powertrain will deliver a boosted range of up to 30 percent and improved energy consumption efficiency by 25 percent.

“In this way, we are always able to stay two steps ahead of the future: The Neue Klasse is already bringing the mobility of the next decade to the roads in 2025 – and leading BMW into a new era,” added Zipse.

The concept boasts BMW's new design language

BMW is expected to launch the production versions sometime in 2025.
