Neue Klasse models from BMW will have much longer range


These are views of the future of BMW style, as shown in concept form at the recent Munich Auto Show, writes Brian Byrne.

The car is named Neue Klasse and showcased what a new model coming in 2025 might look like. The styling is much edgier than current BMW cars.

Built on the brand's next-generation electric platform, the first car in the range is expected to be of a similar size to the current 3-Series.

The Neue Klasse initiative will spawn five more EVs over just 24 months after the first one, showing how quickly BMW plans to go fully electric. The company's bosses say new EV technologies will mean range improvements of 30pc over the current systems in use.
