The design of the BMW’s first Neue Klasse all-electric car is futuristic enough to “look like we skipped a model generation,” said the automaker’s design chief, Adrian van Hooydonk.
BMW is previewing the EV with the Vision Neue Klasse concept at the IAA Mobility auto show in Munich from Sept 5-10.
The concept has a design that has been “pared down to the essentials,” BMW said in a statement on Saturday when it released pictures of the Vision Neue Klasse.
Classic BMW features such as the Hofmeister kink on the rear pillar, the kidney grille and the so-called shark nose reverse-angled front end are retained but updated to give a more progressive look.
