BMW Vision Neue Klasse X first look: The face and features of BMW's future EVs

Last year, at the IAA show in Berlin, BMW gave us a first look at what it calls the Neue Klasse, a "new class" of sedan that would not only drive BMW into its electric future, but also create a new platform with greater efficiency and driving dynamics than we've yet seen from the German brand. Now, the company is showing us an evolution of that concept. A taller one at that, to see just how that same idea for future electrification would apply to an SUV. The styling is somewhat predictable in that regard, a taller look at what we saw in the Neue Klasse sedan.

Their new retro-futuristic design definitely grows on you and way better than their current ones.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Their record-selling current ones.

[@X139T]

Wow I think they finally found the balance this is AMAZING

Whats the likely price range?

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Free.

[@michalpfeil]

Touchscreens in a moving bouncing vehicle that requires you to look away from the road is the dumbest fad in the auto industry ever.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Entire windshield HUD & BMW do audio commands along with redundant steering wheel controls, in fact autonomous cruise ends if driver takes eyes off road.

[@davidbordeaux1575]

That name is a lot, like the heads up display. Front lights and grill look dope.

Only u.

[@tanishgupte9952]

They are on the verge of uglifying all their line-up where as the Audi (q6 etron) and Mercs are really stepping up their designs. The earlier BMW's were among the best designed ones according to many sources. Though striking, these designs can barely be called beautiful.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Yes, explains record 2023 on 60 years of growth, Audi shared VW Dieselgate corp. platform & Mercedes have already caved on low drag BEV design & nomenclature.

[@richardmeyeroff7397]

I am sick of big long SUV's. I don't need something of this size I wish the car companies would get back to a 4 door sedan with a good interior. I think that the digital screens could be a benefit if designed properly and take the need of keeping the driver eyes on the road when needing or wanting to make adjustments or changes. I also think that it is too soon to go all electric I would like to see a combo plugin and small booster that drive a generator as a bridge till we have enough public chargers, that work reliably, and a electrical system that can handle the load that will be require when the majority of cars are electric. Many people live in either Multi story buildings with NO garages therefore no place to install a charger.

There's nothing here... Chinese evs have taken over the auto industry with their innovative designs bith interior and exterior

[@unowen-nh9ov]

China 1 of BMW's biggest markets.

No, that's back seat of i7, along with executive lounge seating & home theatre.

[@allanvindingsrensen1842]

The first good looking BMW in years. Seems their designer have finally left the Chinese inspired bling bling design with ugly oversized kidney grills behind them. Maybe BMWs will start to look elegant again. I hope so!

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Actually their Spartanburg X that have doubled volume in new segments this century, though China are 1 of their (& everyone's) largest markets.

SAV. If only design was subjective. & trolls mattered. You'd still be unsubstantiated & irrelevant.

@@unowen-nh9ov Wow, you are literally commenting on every comment you disagree with. Seems like you are the irrelevant troll. This car has nostrils so big, that it could do more cocaine than Charlie Sheen.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Yes, after doubling volume in new segments this century & scoring record 2023, where do you think they got the BILLION$ they're investing in EV?

[@LovesGrilling]

The smallest fender bender? 30k in repairs. Also modern concept cars are so ugly.
