- The independent study offers style details similar to the BMW vision driving experience prototype.
- The first Neue Klasse model, the SUV IX3, should be launched later this year with the I3 sedan to follow.
- The architecture of 800 volts from BMW promises to load its next generation electric vehicles 30% faster than current systems.
The BMW BMW unveiling of its size 3 series vision conduct of the Size 3, the striking outdoor design of the prototype has inspired a updated concept for a potential Neue Klasse wagon – or, as BMW likes to call it, A tour model. Presented by the design of sugar, this concept offers an overview of what an i3 electric tour might look like there is no guarantee that it will ever come to production. However, we keep our fingers crossed.
A refined vision of the original vision
The overall form and the design of the sexy domain are similar to the original concept of Neue Klasse that the same artist imagined at the end of 2023. However, the revised version incorporates reflected refinements, such as the addition of complex and rear light headlights that are Clearly inspired by the latest BMW prototype.

The most obvious change is the front. While the prototype of the visual driving experience of BMW is like the concept of origin of the Neue Kasse vision, the gates and the light -shaped lights are now much smaller, which allows a more elegant and more frontal design and more attractive. Naturally, they will not be to everyone’s tastes, but we think they are beautiful and a welcome gap compared to some of the desigural headlights of many current BMW models.

It is not only the front of this Neue Klasse tour that looks like goods. It has also been imagined with back -oriented cameras instead of traditional wing mirrors and has no visible door handles, adding to elegant looks. The LED rear lights also have signatures similar to the Vision Driving Experience car and are particularly beautiful thanks to the strong content.
BMW is embarking on a new exciting feature with its Neue Klasse series. The first model of this new family will be the second generation IX3 which will arrive later this year and should be followed by a 3 electric series, probably adopting the I3 badge. The launch as part of the Neue Klasse family will also be the electric M3 which will probably adopt several of the same technologies as the new BMW prototype. Note that in addition to the i3, the Germans also work

The Bavarian brand also brings serious technology to the Neue Klasse family. The new range will include an architecture of 800 volts, a first for the car manufacturer, which promises to considerably improve charging times. With the ability to load up to 30% faster than current systems, Neue Klasse EV of BMW could fill its batteries by 10 to 80% in just 20 minutes.
The range is also a major objective, with estimates suggesting that these cars could offer up to 500 miles (805 km) on a single load. If these figures hold, this will mark a spectacular change in BMW electric vehicle offers, giving the Neue Klasse a serious advantage over competition in terms of convenience and performance.

And just to keep things interesting, BMW also works on a new generation 3 series, which will carry the Neue Klasse design language but will be built on traditional foundations of internal combustion engine (ICE).
