FIRST LOOK: BMW Vision Neue Klasse X - BMW Design Back On Track?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

BMW is about to go back for the sake of its future, plundering its fabled design language from the 1960s to clothe its new generation of oh-so-crucial electric vehicles - and this SUV concept is our latest glimpse of what’s to come.
It’s the BMW Vision Neue Klasse X, a follow-up to the Vision Neue Klasse saloon we saw in 2023, and together the pair of concepts show how BMW’s new-but-old design ideas will evolve onto different bodystyles.
Top Gear Magazine’s Jason Barlow has been to see both Neue Klasse models, so let him be your guide to what the future holds for BMW as the company redefines itself for the electric era.

    It genuinely looks better than their latest designs. BMW should either do designs with curves (like the F90 M5, F83 M4) or just commit to sharp angles. Because BMW’s current line-up is somewhere in the middle and features the unproportional messes like the latest 5er, M2 and X2. The problem with the latest designs have just never been the grilles. The entire cars were out of proportion and uncohesive. It the new Neue Klasse brings back cohesion in their designs, then I’m happy.

    It’s almost comical how BMW introduced new models with giant kidney grills, and now this mini kidney grill. This undermines consumer faith in a cohesive automotive design language of a brand. There should be a proportionality which looks “right” in the eye of the beholder. No one should look at a vehicle and say that it “looks good except for the disproportionate grill”.

The Vision Panoramic Display is very much in the same line as the instruments of the Renault Avantime, but for the 21century - love that too. Refreshing that neither car is designed to look agressive - finally they can just be good-looking...

    I feel compelled to say thank you. Why? Because for at least the past decade car manufacturers have told us what we like, even when we said we didn't (as consumers). Think everything being controlled via a screen. Think no spare tyre. Think SUV when you love a sedan. Recently the designs of BMW have been more confronting than rewarding, subjective I know. But how wonderful is it to hear that heritage, brand history and being able to take these into the future. How often have we heard reviewers of old cars talk about the "glasshouse", low belt lines, greater outward visibility compared with dark, dingy motion sickness inducing design. I love driving cars from 30 or 40 years ago because blind spots were not an issue and a reliance on tech wasn't even on the horizon, and further, my grandchildren will possibly be able to look out a rear passenger window and see more than just tree canopies - the future of motoring is looking brighter. Thank you.

    I like the look and finish of both of these cars, I think it’s a better direction for what BMW has been doing generally. The SAV I think does a good job of demonstrating a car that looks like a BMW. I’m not a big SUV CUVSAV guy, But seeing this on the road would not offend me. There are some generic shapes that are being used by various companies for their vehicles these days, like some others have commented, but I think the SAV manages to avoid looking generic, you know this is a BMW even with the lights off. The sedan however is not as successful in that way. I like the shape of the sedan, it is a little weird with the taller side window glass, but I think I could get used to that. And the overall shape, while closer to the generic sedan shape that it’s doing, is still unique enough that I think it’s fine. Where it falls down is the grill. There is a hint of a dent for where the kidney shape BMW grill ought to be, but it is so barely there that this vehicle looks like it might be a Lincoln or a Buick? That is not where BMW wants to be. they have stretched the kidney grill so far wide that it loses its meaning. I would almost rather have the giant beaver grill from the previous generation which, while extreme, is still obviously BMW . But this is easily fixed. Take the grill from the SAV, shorten it a bit so it’s still taller than it is wide, and slap this on the front. That solves the grill problem. As far as the rest of the shape, short of Making a caricature of the original 2002, I don’t know what you would do to be different shape wise. That said, the tall glass that dips below the fender line is actually an interesting and unique choice. The only thing that’s missing is the iconic C pillar that has been a feature of many BMWs. At least I didn’t see it. Rewinding and looking back again, you could argue that it’s there, but it’s not the same iconic shape that tells people it it’s a BMW. Make that more prominent, and fix the grill, and I think the sedan is fine

    Even though I count myself as an old-school petrol head and drive a G21 M340i Touring, I love this design philosophy of the Neue Klasse cars. I'm not a fan of SUV's, so the saloon really speaks to me, and I loved it the first time I saw it. The almost button-less controls will take some getting used to, but it looks classy, sleek and sharp, and I like that a lot. Well done BMW. 👍👏

Taking already beautiful and gorgeous cars and turning them ugly with overly geometric designs and an overload of sharp lines just for the sake of making it angular and weird.. isn’t innovation. They absolutely got rid of all the iconic and beautiful design elements that BMWs were loved for and gave us horrible looking cars that aren’t cohesive and are a hot mess of mixed styles without a solid identity. Also, listening to your customers and fans’ feedback goes a long way.. Instead of this game of stubbornness they are playing with us.

    The Design is good, but I am not sure about this 3D-Lighteffect in the Kidney especially at the sedan. I think it looks cooler and cleaner with only the two lightstripes acitivated on each site. Hope you will be able to turn the 3D-Effect off. Also I think the sedan looks better than the SUV with the huge but slim kidney which integrats the light. Still it is missing some contours on the front lip, but with that fixed the sedan could be the best looking ev in its class.

Tapping away at a screen or capacitive switches is not luxury. I really liked BMW's approach to control in cars like the current gen X3. The iX was a step back when the HVAC went into the display. I don't want to drive my phone.

    This aint the full finish product so a lot more tacticality will arrive in the end, this is still the concept so they basically polish it off from having those features and make it very simplisict hence the weird camera side mirrors and lack of contours and proper intakes at certain areas and also the lights I'm sure will be designed to be less space ship-like in the end also..love it though it's basically a vision of the direction they're looking to head in with their upcoming design language retro futuristic

    it is but isn't. chromium itself in moderate concentrations is both a toxin and carcinogen, and contributes to a significant amount of soil and water pollution. chrome plating as a process exclusively releases Cr(IV) which is the most reactive and toxic basic oxide of the element. a lot of countries are in the process of banning or have banned industrial chrome plating outright.
