In 2020, during the Korona virus pandemic, BMW decided to return Neue Klasse. The Board of Directors approved the largest investment in the history of the company. We will start seeing the fruits of work in early September. The second generation of the second generation will break the cover at the IAA MOBILITY exhibition in Munich. In 2026, I3 will strike the market.
Meanwhile, BMW shows the initial models of the two cars that are tested together for the first time. EVS has undergone a hot weather test in South Africa while hiding what looks like the final body panels. IX3 may also have ready -made headlights and rear lights, while I3 is likely to have a temporary setting.
The electric duo consumes a new design for BMW, which is the new design approach that all cars will adopt. Yes, this includes models supported by combustion engines. At least four additional EVS of the Neue Klasse collection will reach the market by 2028. The Bavarian brand is not ready to reveal its identities. However, I am looking for a round i3 and IX4, among other things. Meanwhile, more than 40 new cars will be launched by late 2027.
Under the new skin, IX3 and I3 will be the first to adopt the Gen6 batteries for the BMW group. Cylindrical cells will be able to charge 30 % faster, 20 % higher energy density, and 30 % longer than Gen5 Gen5 batteries. Next, all models of BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce will eventually adopt the new battery technology. Engineers have also developed new and more efficient electrical engines. There will be cars with one, two or three and four engines. German luxury brand excludes an front -wheel drive EVS in the Neue Klasse era.
But wait, it becomes better. NK Cars will support 800 volt architectural engineering, allowing very fast charging. In the perfect scenario, the juice will allow the battery for 10 minutes 186 miles (300 km) of the range. Vehicles like IX3 and I3 will support two -way charging, and convert cars into power banks. In the case of intersection, the total efficiency will jump by 20 % against the Clarit -based model. This will be possible by simplifying the body, stabilizing Aero wheels, and escalating the new brakes of EV.
We are still likely not to know much about Neue Klasse, but we are confident that BMW will gradually make more details with the first show in the world in IX3.
