The BMW Vision Neue Klasse is a concept car unveiled at the IAA Mobility 2023.

The design is an evolution of the i Vision Dee concept that debuted at CES 2023.[3]

Overview

[edit]

The Vision Neue Klasse is an electric concept car that previews the design of the next generations of BMWs.

The linear design of the body features a "shark nose" that is tilted forward, 21-inch "aerodynamic wheels", and automatic opening and closing doors that are activated by sensors.[4][5] A new front fascia is adopted in which the headlights are placed inside BMW's traditional kidney grille, and the taillights have a design with depth and breadth, with 3D printed light elements.[4]

The interior has a simple design, with no chrome plating or leather used, and features the "BMW Panoramic Vision" projected onto the entire windshield,[6] a square center display, and multi-function buttons on the steering wheel that can be operated.[7]

The Vision Neue Klasse is equipped with the sixth generation BMW "eDrive" system and a newly developed circular battery.[4] This improves charging efficiency by up to 30% and driving range by up to 30%. Overall vehicle efficiency is also improved by up to 25%.[8]

Vision Neue Klasse's production models will be manufactured at a new plant in Debrecen, Hungary, without the use of fossil fuels, and with a focus on low-CO2 emissions and secondary raw materials.[9][10]
