On March 21, BMW Group unveils Vision Neue Klasse X, previewing the first fully-electric SAV on the new architecture, set for production at the Debrecen plant, Hungary in 2025. The vehicle embodies the core principles of the Neue Klasse: electric, digital, circular, and enhanced driving pleasure.
The Neue Klasse X features advanced drive and chassis control, driven by BMW's in-house developed super-brains, offering superior driving dynamics and automated driving capabilities. Its increased ground clearance allows for a spacious interior with classic BMW proportions and airy ambiance.
The interior has intuitive interfaces such as the Central Display with touch control, BMW Panoramic Vision, and the Hypersonx Wheel for personalized sound experience. The sixth generation of BMW eDrive technology features improved e-drive units and new round lithium-ion battery cells, boosting energy density by over 20%. An 800-volt system improves charging speed by up to 30%, achieving a 300-kilometer range in 10 minutes. Aerodynamics are enhanced, reducing drag by 20%, and overall vehicle efficiency increases by up to 25%.
The interior of the Neue Klasse features eco-friendly materials like "Verdana" surface material and maritime plastics from discarded fishing nets. Recycled mono-materials are used for side skirts and apron attachments.
The vehicle has bidirectional charging technology that allows vehicles to both accept and supply electricity enabling energy storage and grid integration, supporting energy transition and renewable energy use. These features promote active participation in the energy transition and align with BMW's commitment to sustainability.
