BMW has released its iconic design concept, the BMW Vision Neue Klasse, which gives us an idea of the future of its upcoming electric vehicles.
It is a matter of fact that BMW does not always design its classic debuts but also works on the bold, progressive design to showcase its next-generation “core brand” vehicles.
BMW Vision Neue Klasse- “New Class”
This unique BMW Vision Neue Klasse car is set to debut at the IAA Mobility 2023 International Motor Show in Munich, the Vision Neue Klasse means “new class” in English. The car gives both the sporty and retro vibes to give a hint of the futuristic EVs.
According to Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, “The BMW Vision Neue Klasse combines our ability to innovate in the core areas of electrification, digitalization, and circularity.”
He further added, “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.”
The most stunning BMW features on the Neue Klasse are the scarcely visible, monochrome BMW logo, the front slanted shark nose, and the kidney grille, which has been modified for the new vehicle using lighting alone.

Additionally, the BMW Vision Neue Klasse promises the iconic digital user experience with simple design but elegant BMW signature features to introduce the BMW Drive, which fills the gap between the real and virtual worlds.
What’s More
BMW’s ultimate design is “clear” and “almost monolithic,” however, the few features actually present in the design are boldly displayed on surfaces in exotic ways.
To create the impression of depth, the taillights are added to the rearview and enhanced with 3D-printed elements. Furthermore, the interior of the car has minimal buttons and a divergent center display with an extensive vision display throughout the lower portion of the windshield.
Frank Weber, a member of the Board of Management of BMW AG contributes to Development, and stated key improvements, stating, “30% more range, 30% faster charging, 25% more efficiency – the Neue Klasse represents a major technological leap that will take EfficientDynamics to new heights.”
Moreover, the exterior of the BMW Vision Neue Klasse consists of elements that will represent various models within this series. It enhances powerful wheel arches, a forward-slanting “shark nose” front end, and 21-inch aerodynamic wheels, paying tribute to classic designs.
BMW also emphasizes that the Neue Klasse crafted at the Debrecen plant executes sustainable practices, reducing the use of fossil fuels, and increasing the use of raw and secondary materials with reduced CO2 emissions.
