Neue Klasse
BMW Gen6 architectureBMW's great reset: a new 800V platform with cylindrical Gen6 cells, well over a fifth more energy-dense than the prismatic cells before them. The iX3 opened the range from Debrecen, the i3 sedan followed from Munich — with the longest WLTP figures BMW has ever homologated.
Neue Klasse is the EV platform of BMW Group, in production since 2026, with a 800V architecture. The Neue Klasse platform carries 2 models from 1 brand. The WLTP range of the current variants on Neue Klasse runs from 637 to 912 km.
