BMW (OTCMKTS: BMWYY) has introduced its newest concept car, the Vision Neue Klasse X. This signals a bold step forward in the realm of electric vehicles (EVs). With its sleek design, cutting-edge technology, and commitment to sustainability, the Vision Neue Klasse X offers a glimpse into the future of automotive innovation.
As part of its ongoing EV evolution, BMW has embarked on the third phase known as the Neue Klasse. This phase represents a pivotal moment for the automaker. The company has plans to launch the first vehicle of the Neue Klasse in 2025.
Building upon previous releases, including EV versions of popular BMW models like the 4, 5, and 7 Series, as well as the iX compact SUV, the Vision Neue Klasse X signifies a new era of electric mobility.
True to BMW’s iconic design language, the Vision Neue Klasse X features the brand’s distinctive kidney-shaped grille. It is illuminated to create a striking visual impression. While the grille remains a hallmark of BMW’s identity, its purpose has evolved in the context of electric vehicles. This is sparking discussions about its necessity in an engine-less vehicle.
