BMW’s Neue View

Unveiled to the public for the first time at the IAA Mobility 2023 International Show in Munich this past September, BMW says its Vision Neue Klasse embodies a clear design language, with expansive surfaces and just a few distinctive lines pared down to the essentials. "The BMW Vision Neue Klasse combines our ability to innovate in the core areas of electrification, digitalization, and circularity," says Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG. "In this way, we are always able to stay two steps ahead of the future: The Neue Klasse is already bringing the mobility of the next decade to the roads in 2025 – and leading BMW into a new era."
