BMW’s Vision Neue Klasse X Has a Car-Wide Screen and a ‘Joy’ Brain


The German automaker exposes what the next generation of BMW EVs will look like inside and out—including better batteries, a fancy new central computer, and a massive new windscreen display.

The second Neue Klasse concept, following last year’s well-received E Ink sedan design study, the coming iX3 will be the first of six cars based on BMW’s new modular EV platform. The Neue Klasse range will use the sixth generation of BMW eDrive tech, with new batteries in 75-, 90-, and 105-kWh capacities and an 800-volt electric architecture that will improve charging speeds by up to 30 percent. “The ‘heart of joy’ effectively takes 30 years of experience and blends it into a single control unit,” BMW chief technical officer Frank Weber tells WIRED.
