BMW has unveiled the BMW Vision Neue Klasse X concept car, signaling the brand's future design direction for electric vehicles and hinting at the overall design of the next-generation iX3. The concept car revives the name of the classic Neue Klasse models from the 1960s, which played a significant role in BMW's recovery post-WWII. Designer Kai Langer has stated that the upcoming iX3 will retain many design elements from the concept, with production expected next year. The exterior features all-new designs except for the iconic dual-kidney grille, while the interior adopts a minimalist style with the elimination of traditional mirrors in favor of electronic rear-view mirrors and the use of eco-friendly materials. The Vision Neue Klasse X also introduces the Personal Sound Experience acoustic feature and will be the first BMW to use an 800V electric architecture, supporting high-power DC charging and a 30% increase in range efficiency.
