BMW is just months out from previewing its first Neue Klasse EV due in 2025.
During a conference call on Thursday outlining BMW's third-quarter financial results, Nicolas Peter, BMW's chief financial officer, said the automaker will unveil a “vision vehicle” related to the Neue Klasse during CES.
Vision vehicle is the term BMW uses for a concept car, though the concept BMW has planned for CES may not necessarily be a complete vehicle. It could possibly be just a vehicle interior concept, as Peter during the call said the concept would “underpin” the automaker's digital expertise. The Neue Klasse platform is being developed from the onset for electric powertrains. Originally, BMW planned for it to replace the currentby also supporting internal-combustion engines in various hybrid configurations, but that plan has been abandoned. The platform will be capable of supporting a hydrogen fuel cell, however.
The platform will allow engineers to vary the wheelbase length to fit a variety of body styles, and vehicles based on the platform will take on a more aerodynamic design to help maximize range. As a result, proportions will differ from the past, not only for aerodynamics but also to boost interior space. The platform will also use BMW's sixth-generation electric motor and battery technology, which promises improved power and efficiency.
