The increased ground clearance facilitates a spacious interior bathed in natural light thanks to a large panoramic sunroof.

A Symphony of Light and Technology

The Vision Neue Klasse X utilizes innovative lighting elements to create a striking visual presence. The vertical, sleek headlights and the reimagined 3D illuminated kidney grille exude a futuristic flair. Even the taillights boast a unique design, featuring 3D-printed components that dynamically adjust their color intensity.

Personalized User Experience

The interior prioritizes a personalized user experience. The redesigned steering wheel offers intuitive controls, while a large central display provides convenient access to infotainment features. Additionally, the groundbreaking “BMW Panoramic Vision” technology projects vital information directly onto the windshield, enhancing driver focus.

Immersive Sound on the Go

The “Personal Sound Experience,” a novel feature showcased in the Vision Neue Klasse X, elevates in-car entertainment. Utilizing the steering wheel, this innovative technology generates personalized soundtracks, tailoring the audio experience to each journey.

Enhanced Efficiency and Range

BMW’s next-generation electric drive technology promises significant advancements in charging speed and range. The system is projected to enable a 10-minute charge sufficient for a 300-kilometer journey. Furthermore, the Vision Neue Klasse X boasts improved aerodynamics, resulting in extended range on a single charge.

Sustainability at the Forefront

Sustainability is a core tenet of the Neue Klasse initiative. The Vision Neue Klasse X incorporates recycled materials extensively, and the development of innovative plant-based materials for the interior exemplifies this commitment. The car’s design prioritizes easy disassembly and recyclability, ensuring a minimized environmental footprint throughout its lifecycle.

A New Chapter for BMW

The Neue Klasse marks a pivotal moment for BMW. It signifies the development of a dedicated platform for electric vehicles, a progressive approach to car design, and a renewed dedication to environmental responsibility.

BMW Vision Future Luxury Concept

BMW has officially unveiled the Vision Future Luxury Concept. The new vehicle stands for a forward-looking fusion of exclusivity and innovation. It boasts unique driving experience combining nice emotions and exclusivity. All this is conveyed through the outstanding exterior and interior design of the BMW Vision Future Luxury.

The exterior boasts futuristic elements, a Liquid Platinum Bronze paint and a massive twin kidney grille that is flanked by laserlight headlights. There are also carbon fiber air deflectors, chrome trim elements, OLED taillights and a carbon strip, which means that the Vision Future Luxury Concept comes with carbon fiber and aluminum chassis.

The interior is even more spectacular. There are three displays that use 3D technology – the left one shows vehicle data, while the center shows a programmable speedometer, rev counter and “context-adaptive supplementary data”. The right display is for the infotainment system – music, maps, etc.

There is also a contact-analogue BMW Vision Head Up Display. This display augments the driver’s view of the real world by projecting information directly in the driver’s line of sight onto the road. Buildings, traffic signs or hazards can be highlighted directly in the real-world environment, selectively directing the driver’s attention to specific information which is particularly important at any given time.

“We use visionary concept vehicles like the BMW Vision Future Luxury to show where we may be going with these themes in the future, and to give us new inspiration and motivation. The BMW Vision Future Luxury – with its innovative technologies and with meticulous precision and quality in every detail – takes our thinking on modern luxury a logical stage further.”, commented BMW’s Senior Vice President of Design, Adrian van Hooydonk.

BMW Laser Headlights

Laser light is the successor of the successful LED headlights. BMW is developing a new laser headlights, which will be more efficient and effective.

In the field of exterior vehicle lights, BMW also leads the way for example with full LED headlamps for the BMW 6 Series and with new developments such as the “Anti-dazzle High- Beam Assistant”, as well as with “Dynamic Light Spot”.

A further advantage of laser lighting technology, and one which the BMW engineers intend to use to full effect, is its high inherent efficiency. A single statistic will make this clear: whereas LED lighting generates only around 100 lumens per watt, laser lighting generates approximately 170 lumens.

Safety is a key consideration in the development of laser lighting for use in passenger cars. For BMW, the complete eye safety of this technology for all road users and its complete reliability in day-to-day use have top priority.

BMW Vision ConnectedDrive. Jewellery spot.

BMW has released a nice video of the amazing Vision ConnectedDrive.

The vehicle concentrates on communication, infotainment and safety. It is a two-seater roadster with aggressive lines and a flat sporting and dynamic silhouette. There are some transparent surfaces providing a cool light show.

Vision ConnectedDrive resembles a Vision EfficientDynamics roadster and features a wide grille, huge air intakes, a frameless windscreen and a transparent area in the hood.

The interior is split into two main sections as the driver and passenger are separated by a flowing center console. The Passenger Information Display in the instrument panel can come to life with a single touch.

The Emotional Browser gives you the ability to easily filter the information to meet your requirements, to organise it and change the layout of the display. You will see that in the video.

Still, there is no official information about this beautiful car. We hope that it will go into production, because it deserves that.

Enjoy the video!
