The BMW Neue Klasse marks a revolutionary step for the brand, introducing a next-generation era of electric sedans with bold design, high efficiency, and advanced EV technology. Led by the all-electric BMW iX3 as the first production model, the Neue Klasse lineup defines BMW’s future-focused approach to electrification and dynamic driving performance.
Advanced Electric Powertrain and Efficiency
The Neue Klasse platform debuts BMW’s sixth-generation eDrive technology, combining an electronically excited synchronous motor at the rear with a compact asynchronous motor at the front. Together, these motors deliver 469 horsepower and 645 Nm (475 lb-ft) of torque, launching the iX3 from 0–62 mph in 4.9 seconds.
The 108.7 kWh high-voltage battery uses next-gen cylindrical cell technology for higher energy density and improved thermal efficiency. This allows for an impressive range of up to 805 km (500 miles WLTP). With 400 kW DC fast charging capability, the iX3 can recharge roughly 372 km of range in just 10 minutes.
Futuristic Design and Aerodynamics
Neue Klasse vehicles showcase a bold reinterpretation of BMW’s iconic design DNA. Vertical dual kidney grilles, slim angular headlights, and sculpted surfaces create a futuristic yet familiar presence. The iX3 features:
Flush door handles
Aerodynamic underbody panels
Squared wheel arches
A sleek, proportional silhouette
Its refined aerodynamics achieve a low drag coefficient of 0.24 Cd, improving range and overall efficiency.
Cutting-Edge Interior and Digital Technology
Inside, the Neue Klasse models deliver a minimalist yet highly digital cabin experience. The iX3 introduces BMW’s latest Operating System X paired with an immersive digital layout:
17.9-inch central touchscreen
Panoramic Vision display spanning the dashboard
Sustainable materials and customizable interior themes
Enhanced voice and gesture controls
The system supports high-level connectivity, AI-powered assistants, proactive safety, and comprehensive driver assistance technologies.
