Overview
editThe 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,[3] a square center display, and multi-function buttons on the steering wheel that can be operated.[6]
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%.[7]
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.[8][9]
