some of the AI designed cars that are flooding social media at the moment look actually extremely good. ChatGPT would do it so so much better than this.
I’m actually quite fond of this one surprisingly. I like the proportions when seen from the side. I think they pulled it off just right with a combination of a lower belt line, bigger windows and that execution of the hofmeister kink on the d pillar. Strong gen 1 X5 vibes! Still on the fence on the front end and interior though.
@@aldrichuyliong8143just goes to show u how right people are. Everyone said the big grilles would end up being a timeless classic and u already see people coming around to them and loving them alot more.
Unlike most others, I do like the proper revivial of a 2002 style of vertical grill with the horizontal grills around it. The problems I have with this is that BMW just seems to want to remove the Angel Eyes and give their cars this generic Devil's Fangs. There's also all the unneccessary angular design - not every line has to be a super sharp crease, not every joint between lines have to have 0 radius! Lastly, if only they could keep the beltline a straight line and not have some unneccessary random slight upward kink? Just keep the beltline straight until it ends off with a clean sharp Hoffmeister kink.
😉 I guess, they are still experimenting with Design elements but as a Brand they should allways stick to some Key Design Elements at least... The oversized Kidneys was a Experiment gone wrong, with the smaller Kidneys they are back on Track!👍
I agree with the front. The sedan is better. I like the kidney "grill" being the lights versus the skinny kidneys. The render you showed from c&d was definitely better.
I like this new Style with the Oldschool 70s Kidneys! I hope they keep this Style now since other Carbrands like Opel are very sucessful with their Oldschool Manta/Camaro Front Design too! Just my 2 cents and thoughts...😉
Their sales have been growing year over year since 2014. They made record sales recently and the i4 is their best selling car. I don't like this design but they seem to be working.
@@khanmimaad i think it's rather because they expanded their lineup to include a lot of consumer products while the enthusiasts are more and more left waiting in the rain.
@@HanYou2brotha the enthusiast are eating up the new m3 and m4. Bmw has sold TRIPLE the amount of their new g8x m3 and m4s per year then their old f8x models. People love them, myself included. They look super aggresive and turn heads everywhere.
BMW needs to stop redefining its key features like twin angel eyes and the Hoffmeister kink. I think they can play around with the grill abit, but they should never remove the quad circle (or hexagonal, at least) headlights
I think the issue with the skinny vertical kidneys is while it worked very well for say the 2002.. the models they have placed it on so far are soo much wider & larger in general. It creates a weird balance to the overall look.
Honestly I like Neue Klasse, I don’t understand what people are asking from a BMW SUV? Do people want a lifted F30? What you want? This is literally how E30 would look like in 2024!
I personally prefer having clear kidneys rather than the extra large "kidney+grille", especially considering that everyone was complaining about BMW kidneys becoming too large. It could be improved to minimize the "clashing" with the front headlights, but a sizeable grill is preferable for a car with a bonnet that high. I don't mind the side profile: imo, it's better to consider it a "no shoulder line" car (the current 4-series already has something similar). My only issues: the vertical "cuts" in the bottom part of the bumpers...and the "TV" in the middle of the dash.
Unlike many other hater comments I do like this Design!👌 It looks way better than all their other ugly IX, XM, 5 Series, 4 Series, 1 and 2 Series 💩, they did in the last years!😜 Looks like they finally found their way/path again!👍
I do like the ambient light, they are like they should be. cozy and hidden so you are not looking directly at the light bar. Which you find in most modern cars today, which uses ikea led strips it seems..
Love the interior! The reason for the angled screen is both visual and practical. Visual, to draw the attention to the driver, like the old interiors used to be angled to the driver. Functional, because its a touch screen, its super convenvient for the right hand from the wheel to the screen. Surprised you didnt «see» this as a designer.
Concerning modern car interiors, I am full well convinced that modern manufacturers are saying "can't be offensive if there is nothing to be offended by"
You sort of want to agree with the back to old school BMW grille but the overall sheetmetal says still a lot of things to improve. This isn't a ggod design language or direction, not convincing still.
It was so close. The saloon/sedan concept is like this without the added grille - it was smart as it was if the kidney grille was stretched across the whole front and becomes the whole face and lights. This design kinda has another kidney grille slapped on.
Lets be honest, the era of great bmw, mercedes and audi designs, is over. Because we desperately trying to make futuristic looking cars, we make disgusting souless mistakes instead. Today, the Hyundai, Toyota, Kia, Peugeot are the new leaders of great design for mid range cars.
Love this Neue Klasse X design. Especially the front end. It has very strong 80's and early 90's BMW design. The kidney grill is the correct size. Only thing I wish would be different would be the LED strips that look like lights should have gone back to about 80% rounded out light signatures.
The standing kidney bmw said is for their SUVS lineup the horizontal is what they are going to use for all of the non SUVs. I love this more Organic design language. I just hope they don't dumb it down for the production.
i wont be negative folks ...but...i can say without any hesitation...we will not find in the next few models the BMW as we knew-it in the glorious past. they lost the DESIGN-TRACK for good this time. that is my opinion and i m not the only one to think like this. this design is not the result of some artistic HUMAN inspiration and passion....this is the result of the A.I sketches....ready/COLD AS ICE/BASIC/AND WITHOUT ANY AUTOMOTIVE EMOTION/ we miss the circular shapes of the front lights combined with a slim well designed front grill. BMW is not the same it is not that car full of emotions after MR CHRIS BANGLE stunning LINES. GODBLESS THAT MAN. (respect from a french guy 😉)
Bembli, always interesting to hear your opinion about new designs. Looking a few minutes at 7:12, I think the kidneys look great. They are well integrated in the Neue Klasse design and they carry BMW DNA as where the Neu Klasse 3 series could also be a Peugeot for instance. Interesting designing going on here.
I adore this design! (including the kidneys in the front, they harmonise perfectly with the rest imo). And regardless from where you look, you know immediately that this is a BMW without having to see the logo. I also like that the windows are becoming bigger again. I hate those modern cars (/tanks) with those little embrasures.
How about dynamic kidneys? The faster you go the wider the kidney light signature becomes. So, looking friendly and small in town and Agressive on the motorway in the rear view mirror approaching?
a couple of things: 1. I think the kidneys look great. 2. Not having a light bar in the back makes it nowadays distinguishable from other brands 3. the interior looks amazing (and yes, it will not go into production like that). You said there is nothing exciting about it, I have to say that compared to an Audi Q6 e tron interior, this I levels ahead and feels really futuristic. I do not understand your hate for new interiors and modern approaches. Seems like you do not want to let the past go and adapt. I get that a Tesla Interior is just dull but this interior design makes me want to get behind the steering wheel immediately. Thanks for the fast upload and nice content. Cheers
It's too little too late, it's 2024! just give us competitive products! German cars does not have any technological advantages in EVs, and can't demand such overpriced products. I'm a 30 year Audi / BMW driver and I am really fed up with their EV progress! This is absolutely not better than the EV standard Tesla.
How long last your previous laptop or smartphone ? 3-5 years maybe... I hope it will better with theses but nothing indicate this. Premiums should be focus on making long lasting products that you can transfert to your loved one or at least will garantee you a good value when you sell it.
I have shown this to a friend and the first thing they said is “that looks like the very specific mustache of a very famous evil person during WWII”… now I cannot unsee it…
I actually have to disagree. This looks great and BETTER than the sedan. The defined kidneys are what makes it a BMW. Otherwise, those nondescript wide grilles on the sedan are.. soulless. Not BMW.
I actually like the x’s design better than the sedan’s. It connects better to BMW history, especially the 80’s era e30s, e32, etc. where the grilles were narrow but there was still negative space with on the horizontal plane. I think they could make the grille work better if they used the 3D effect to create a negative rake as in the e24 and w28.
This design is pretty rad actually. It so out there and so incredibly forward thinking but still weirdly cool and well proportioned. Nailed it! Y’all will agree with me at some point.
Bruh that interior looks absolutely stunning. I hope it still has the scroll wheel and buttons for AC, heated options,etc.. but this car looks so futurstic. BMW nailed it. Put this next to the new tesla model 3 and the tesla would look dated asf inside and outside.
The one thing that BMW has seemed to be sensitive to and successful with in the recent industry trends is transitioning to EVs in a gradual and sensible way (e.g., ICEs and EVs as variations on the same platform). Maybe this is the same logic as using the Neue Klasse X as a bridge to the Neue Klasse sports sedan. In other words, the small, narrow kidney grill is instantly recognizable as a BMW but the rest of the front perhaps prepares people for a new aesthetic. Just a thought.
I love it. Including the retro smaller vertical kidneys. I like that they are not fully harmonious as that would feel more muted from a brand perspective. Take them away and it’s less distinctly a BMW. Could be a Hyundai.
It looks nice and airy, kinda reminiscent of the 2002 of the 70's. Though 80% of bmw's intro video is centered on the ipad screen... Very disappointing, its not a driver's car, its an ipad that can drive you to the store.
If you look at 2002, the kidney are flush with the rest of the graphics. If you reduce the height of the kidneys to be flush with the headlamps units, I think that would work. Otherwise, I can't believe I'm saying this for a modern BMW, but this design is growing on me...
It’s like so close to being so good . I think they were afraid to abandon the kidney grill and panicked but I feel like they could have implemented it way better. It looks great from the side and back
While I like the other design you showed more (the one with the wide kidneys), it looks a bit boring and like a Fisker. This isn’t the prettiest, but it is striking and a big breakthrough in design. You won’t get used to it and get bored of it so easily.
I thought I’d never say this again, but I really like the kidneys in this model. And I’d love to see 4 rounded lights instead of those 4 bars to have more 70’s decade vibe. Overall I like the exterior design, but the rear head lights don’t look BMW at all.
I actually like, how BMW´s design morphes into something modern. After loosing the plot with these monster kidneys (2. gen. 4 series and so on) they now hit in the right direction. It´s always a good sign, when people disklike a new design. It will grow on them in most cases. Every design belongs to its time. You cannot bring back the design of, for example, the old 6 series with its big glashouse, tiny window pillars and sharknose. These times are over and won´t come back.
The vertically stacked kidneys look awful. I can see why they did it in the m3 for cooling purposes (still looks heinous). I’m glad they’ve kept the 2 3 and 5 horizontal
It's like when you make a character in a game and pull all the sliders to min or max just to see what it does but instead of resetting they press confirm.
The front somehow looks odd, but I do really like that they brought back the kidneys. Maybe the headlights need to be more round to make it work better. It doesn't have a proper face with these headlights. Also I think the bumper does not work that well with these kidneys. The front is always the face of a car and just like with people when you look at the face, look into the eyes you can see the personality. BMW still has unresolved personality issues, but with these concepts I can see some hope for the future.

Better than the 5er & 4er but still not great
It’s like so close to being so good . I think they were afraid to abandon the kidney grill and panicked but I feel like they could have implemented it way better. It looks great from the side and back
Every new BMW design since 2019-2020 is a step forward and a step backward... miss those days where every release was a absolute banger.
Make the front kidneys smaller and make their height equal to the horizontal bars of the lighting.. that should look realy realy good.

Have you seen modern Peugeot? 508, 408, new E-3008, the steering wheel is already there for years.
This guy is right we can't see any human touch in automative designs after 2018
BMW LOVE THEIR FRONT GRILL which for me is the major trade mark coz any bmw. First to look at is the grill
two things i think when i see the Neu Klasse; the sedan have a lot of Alfa Romea look and the suv have a lot bmw i3 reuse.
Totally agree on the Neue Klasse car's front being far better than the SUV's. If the wagon has the car's front and the SUV's rear, it'll be fantastic.

Huge improvement over the fugly beaver and arsefaced grilles from the iX and 4 series.
I can’t believe that I’m saying that but I love the exterior design I think it looks great
Interior looks like the new navigator from a dash perspective.
Do they not listen to any of the feedback they get from their recent designs??
The front light design + grill make it look like two phallic objects mirror at the base….
Cannot take this new front end. I like the sedan version better.
I think this design with rear wheel drive proportions would look great
The front somehow looks odd, but I do really like that they brought back the kidneys. Maybe the headlights need to be more round to make it work better. It doesn't have a proper face with these headlights. Also I think the bumper does not work that well with these kidneys.
The front is always the face of a car and just like with people when you look at the face, look into the eyes you can see the personality. BMW still has unresolved personality issues, but with these concepts I can see some hope for the future.
looking like the previous X2 side view
I totally agree - they nailed it with new front end design then messed it up - why????
futuristic design with mid-century modern inspiration.
Soon this design language will be known as BMW’s “Beaver” era.
If you want to hetter understand the front design, google BMW 2000. That was one of the first succesfull BMW‘s car back in the days.
