At the end of BMW’s Vision Neue Klasse presentation on September 2, 2023, the automaker teased an upcoming electric SUV. The Vision Neue Klasse electric sedan, which debuted at the 2023 IAA Mobility International Motor Show in Munich, Germany, will enter production in 2025, but a Neue Klasse SUV seems to be under testing already.
The presentation showcased the camouflaged SUV’s side profile before it rocketed off the line on what looked like a test track (at 26:49 in the video above). It appeared to have production body panels and a stretched-out wheelbase with shorter overhangs than the iX3, which rides on the same cluster architecture (CLAR) as the gas-powered X3.
