BMW Group: sustainable, connected mobility for 2025
The BMW Group Sets Ambitious 2025 Goals for Sustainable and Connected Mobility Solutions
The arrival of the next-generation BMW Neue Klasse at the end of the year will mark a major technological milestone.
While BMW Group continues to place electrification at the core of its 2025 strategy, the premium manufacturer is also focusing on developing increasingly efficient combustion engines to complement its lineup. However, it is the next-generation BMW Neue Klasse, expected by the end of 2025, that embodies the Group's vision for sustainable and connected mobility. Featuring the latest technological advancements, this new platform will offer advanced autonomous driving capabilities and cutting-edge connectivity, enabling an even smoother and more personalized driving experience. With this ambitious roadmap, BMW Group aims to demonstrate its innovative prowess in the key areas of electrification, digitalization, and circularity.
**BMW Neue Klasse: A Vision of the Future**
The BMW brand is resolutely looking to the future with its next generation of 100% electric vehicles: the Neue Klasse. Expected by the end of 2025, this new architecture embodies BMW's core values—driving pleasure, personality, and technological excellence—offering a new perspective on the future of individual mobility. Thanks to state-of-the-art innovations in electric drivetrains, the Neue Klasse sets new standards for performance, range, and immersive driving experiences.
At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, BMW Group unveiled its vision of the driving experience, showcasing the user interface and display systems of future BMW models. This included the near-final version of the new BMW Panoramic iDrive, featuring its centerpiece, the BMW Panoramic Vision, complemented by the new BMW Operating System X. This comprehensive system will be rolled out in all new BMW models starting at the end of 2025.
**New BMW 1 Series and 2 Series Gran Coupé: Pure Driving Pleasure**
With a bold and sporty character, the new BMW 1 Series benefits from completely redesigned powertrains and enhanced chassis technology. It is now more than ever a true BMW. New engines equipped with 48V mild-hybrid technology and a production process designed to better conserve resources and increase material recycling optimize the environmental impact throughout the lifecycle of this new generation BMW 1 Series. Its renewal is also reflected in the redesigned interior, an expanded range of advanced driver assistance and automated parking systems, the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect access, and innovative digital services based on the BMW Operating System 9.
Meanwhile, the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé represents a new level of excellence, sportiness, and elegance in the premium compact segment. The second generation of this four-door coupé further emphasizes these hallmark BMW qualities.
**New BMW X3: A Cornerstone of the Lineup**
With nearly 1.9 million units produced since 2003, the BMW X3 has established itself as a cornerstone of the brand's SAV lineup. Its fourth generation, launched in 2024, continues this success by combining dynamism, comfort, and cutting-edge technologies. Its streamlined design and sportier proportions enhance its monolithic character.
The entirely redesigned interior blends premium materials, high-resolution displays, and customizable ambient lighting. The range of powertrains—gasoline, diesel, and plug-in hybrid—benefits from electrification and xDrive all-wheel drive. With a gross battery capacity of 22.1 kWh, the new BMW X3 30e xDrive plug-in hybrid can travel up to 90 kilometers in 100% electric mode (WLTP).
**New MINI Aceman: The Ace of the Family**
The new MINI Aceman combines compact exterior dimensions with maximum interior space for passengers, offering a contemporary interpretation of the original vision of MINI Classic inventor Sir Alec Issigonis: maximum space efficiency with minimal footprint, paired with a next-generation 100% electric drivetrain.
The avant-garde design of the new MINI Aceman comfortably accommodates five passengers, with a length of just over four meters. MINI leverages innovative technologies to optimize the interior with an immersive digital user experience, while its fully electric powertrain reinvigorates MINI’s signature "go-kart feeling." Paired with modern driver assistance systems and iconic design, MINI’s traditional values are more aligned with the future than ever.
