The BMW Vision Neue Klasse X has round battery cells, four super-brains, and a 3D grille
The EV concept previews BMW’s approach to its electric future.
The kidney grille is somehow even more in-your-face than usual, with the automaker turning its signature design into a “three-dimensional sculpture with vertically aligned and backlit corridors.” And it lights up as the driver approaches the vehicle. When combined with the vehicle’s 800-volt architecture, the battery enables charging speeds of up to 30 percent faster than typical rates, which BMW says will allow the EV to gain 300km (roughly 186 miles) in just 10 minutes. Previous reports indicate the Vision Neue Klasse X will be similarly sized to the BMW X3 — and could eventually replace the SUV as the iX3 model, which it currently sells in several overseas markets.
