BMW has said new materials will also help improve the future recycling of vehicles.Also previewed in the Vision Neue Klasse concept is a minimalist but high-tech interior, similar to what's found in a Tesla.
The aim was to reduce analog controls to a minimum, BMW said. There are still some controls on the steering wheel but most of the interaction is handled via a central infotainment screen, a voice assistant, gesture control, and a head-up display spanning the width of the windshield.BMW calls the new head-up display Panoramic Vision and said it will be able to project information at the ideal height of the driver's line of sight.
The Panoramic Vision display will also work together with ambient lighting features to create a visual experience when the vehicle is in different driving modes. For example, when in Sport mode, the various displays of the concept are set against a yellow background to signify dynamic driving. BMW plans to release more information on its upcoming Neue Klasse vehicles during the course of 2023.

Neue Klasse vehicles will also be built at existing BMW plants in Munich, Germany, and Shenyang, China, starting in 2026, and in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, starting in 2027.
