Let's start with what gives this car "power" - the advanced sixth-generation eDrive technology, which promises 20 percent more energy density than current batteries. This means you can expect greater autonomy and more efficient charging. And speaking of charging, BMW is introducing 800-volt architecture, which allows it to be charged in just 10 minutes for as much as 300 kilometers of driving.

Super-brains replace classic ECUs, and thus BMW says goodbye to traditional ECUs and welcomes integrated high-performance computers that will be up to ten times more powerful than conventional ECU units. This transition promises improved data processing and simplified vehicle electronic architecture, allowing for unified control over driving dynamics, from torque delivery to suspension management.

Design that breathes history and looks to the future. But BMW remains faithful to its recognizable design with kidney stones, which have been reinterpreted in this model for the age of electric vehicles. The minimalist interior design takes a new approach with clean lines and a technologically advanced dashboard that reduces the need for physical buttons and dials. Also not to be overlooked is the “Verdana” textile, made from completely petroleum-independent materials, underscoring BMW's commitment to sustainability.

Lately it seems to be the design BMW divided opinions, some criticized it as too radical or out of step with the brand's traditional values. However, it is this concept, the Vision Neue Klasse X, that once again unites followers and believers of the brand, proves that it is interesting and innovative enough for BMW, maybe even a step in the right direction. With it, BMW not only follows trends, but creates cars that are visually appealing, technologically advanced and at the same time reflect the brand's heritage.


BMW Vision Neue Klasse X is actually a manifesto that shows where BMW is directing its energy in the future. With advanced eDrive technology, a revolutionary approach to electronic architecture and a design that interweaves tradition and innovation, BMW not only sets new standards for electric SUVs, but also paves the way for a more sustainable and technologically advanced future of motoring. With the Vision Neue Klasse X, it is clear that BMW intends to be a leading player on this path. So the next time you see this technological marvel, know that it's not just a car, but a vision of the future that's already knocking on the door.

With the Vision Neue Klasse X concept, BMW is opening a new chapter in its electric future, but at the same time it is triggering mixed feelings. Introduced as the spiritual successor to the BMW iX3, this concept certainly offers a glimpse into a future where electric vehicles are at the fore, but is its design really what we've been led to expect?

On the one hand, the concept sketches are promising; with their dynamism and boldness, they are like a promise that BMW has not yet lost its innovative spark. These sketches represent a car that could really represent a big step forward in the brand's design language, especially when compared to the less convincing past models.

However, moving from sketches to reality, concept vehicles like the Vision Neue Klasse X seem to be moving further and further away from BMW's historic commitment to the tagline “The Ultimate Driving Machine”. Instead of an emphasis on driving, the future seems to belong to autonomous technologies and digitized cockpits where the driver is more of a passenger than anything else.

Above all, at the center of the debate is the design of the front part with "small kidneys", which to many people seem forced and somewhat lost on the otherwise clean and modern design. Nevertheless, the concept also shows that BMW is seeking a balance between respecting its rich history and looking to an electric future.

The biggest concern remains the interior, which with its minimalism and emphasis on screens may cross the line between functionality and sterility. Is this really an environment where passionate drivers want to spend their time?

The BMW Vision Neue Klasse X stands as a promising sign of innovation, but it is clear that the road to its final realization is still long. The question remains whether BMW will be able to combine its traditional values with the demands of the modern age without losing its soul. For now, we remain in anticipation and hope that the finished products will rekindle that true BMW magic that we may have lost sight of for a moment.
