5 Key Takeaways From BMW Group Annual Conference 2025

How many new cars will BMW reveal this year?

By 2025, BMW will launch the first NEUE KLASSE production model, the new iX3, initiating a major rollout of over 40 new and updated models across all drivetrain types and segments by 2027. These vehicles will incorporate future technology clusters, which will be gradually implemented across BMW’s entire lineup.

Will the focus be on EVs?

BMW's strategy of technology openness ensures its competitiveness by offering a diverse drivetrain portfolio. This includes internal combustion engines, plug-in hybrids, battery-electric vehicles, and, from 2028, hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles.

BMW’s first hydrogen production vehicle

In 2028, BMW will become the first premium brand to launch a series-production fuel-cell vehicle, developed in collaboration with Toyota. It will be tailored for each brand, with BMW’s model integrating into its lineup as another emission-free option.

BMW iX3 will be the first NEUE KLASSE production vehicle

Series production of the NEUE KLASSE will begin in late 2025, starting with the BMW iX3. Based on the BMW Vision Neue Klasse X, this fully electric SAV will be built at Plant Debrecen, BMW’s first facility dedicated to EVs, where pre-series production began in late 2024.

6th-gen BMW eDrive

BMW is launching its sixth-generation eDrive technology in the NEUE KLASSE, featuring a new high-voltage battery, electric motor, and the in-house developed "BMW Energy Master" control unit. The 800-volt round-cell battery boosts energy density by 20%, charges 30% faster and increases range by at least 30%, while cutting battery costs by 40-50%.
