The entire BMW car is about to change a new chassis: The interior is wider, the aerodynamics are better.

The whole lineup of BMW electric cars and motor vehicles is about to use a new chassis.

In the 1960s, BMW used to have a series of sedans and coupes named New Class (Neue Klasse) with a focus on the 1600 sedan forerunner to the top 3-Series later. Now, BMW wants to bring the New Class name back, but not for a certain product line, but for a new versatile chassis with the ultimate flexibility to serve the entire lineup in the future. The New Class, according to information announced by BMW in the middle of this week, supports all powertrain systems whether running on gasoline, oil or electricity and is part of the long-term development strategy of the Bavarian brand. This is not a trivial ambition to know that other major corporations in the world, such as Hyundai - Kia or Volkswagen, also have to develop their own chassis for electric cars, not dare to combine all types of chassis. into a single body.

As for BMW, they are confident that they will complete the New Class while affirming that this is the most reasonable method of finance when combining design and production into a unified unit. When completed, the New Class will immediately be put into use instead of UKL (serving small cars like BMW 2-Series or X1) and CLAR (large cars like 5-Series, 7-Series, X5 or X7) present. The default powertrain of the New Class is the rear axle, but the user can also switch to the front with the help of an electric motor. Some of the strengths of the New Class announced by BMW are good aerodynamics, spacious interior space, support for multiple battery sizes and easy software upgrades. Reference: Autonews Europe
