The BMW Vision Neue Klasse X's simplified styling, warm and comfortable interior and increased efficiency will be incorporated in a future production vehicle in 2025.
The best way to demonstrate how much BMW styling and design will change over the next few years would be to park the new Vision Neue Klasse X next to one of the German automaker’s current SUVs, be it the X3, X5 or X7. One will be expressively styled to the point of polarization, with vents, openings and shapes pushed to their extremes up front, stretched like taffy in the center and boldly dynamic at the rear.
Like the original it clearly references, the whole Vision Neue Klasse X story really revolves around the integration of its design, inside and out, and how it modernizes the way BMW is thinking about automobiles in the future. It’s a cohesive package, or to use BMW’s terminology, a vision into a harmonious look and feel that focuses on efficiency, sustainability, technology and customizability in seemingly equal amounts.
The rear of the vehicle may be its most characterful angle. The roof ends in almost buttress-shaped hoods that extend over the rear glass. The taillights are wide and horizontal with red slash-shaped elements that serve to bracket the familiar but toned-down BMW roundel badge. At the lower edge, a skid plate of sorts and black trim are the most outright callouts to any sort of off-road utility, though there looks to be solid ground clearance and short overhangs.
Much more interesting than the center screen is BMW’s Panoramic Vision tech that projects information across the full width of the bottom few inches of the windshield. There are strong holographic effects at play that provide depth and dimensionality to the display, making it feel futuristic and useful at the same time. A more traditional head-up display will also be part of the production package.
