The Bimmer with the Big Sniffer: BMW's New-Era X Concept Unveiled, Production Version to Drop Next Year

La Mu Thu, Mar 21 2024 09:57 AM EST

Word on the street is that BMW's next-gen X concept car has just made its grand debut. It's set to become the blueprint for the future of BMW's X family. The production version is expected to roll off the line in the second half of 2025 at the Debrecen plant in Hungary (rumored to be the all-new BMW iX3).

When it comes to looks, it's rocking the same design language as BMW's new-gen Vision concept cars. The most striking feature is the return of the double-kidney grille, now merged with the horizontal headlights. Throw in the LED lights, and it's got some serious presence. Plus, it's got a cool welcome light show to amp up the drama. s_b1f90e99d4a64c06993a464658a5c414.jpg

The new car features a sloping roofline and a short overhang, long wheelbase design to ensure ample interior space. The iconic Hofmeister kink is retained, albeit with a "glare-free print" treatment. Other notable details include digital exterior mirrors, flush door handles, and frameless windows.

The internal light source has a very unique design and can be controlled individually to create a sense of depth. s_f1e65872d76249a2aee7e44465b23ad8.jpg

The interior design is very unique. The multifunction steering wheel is a four-spoke design style that fully considers the ergonomic design. The traditional dashboard has been removed and the floating center control screen has a very unique shape. It is basically a parallelogram style, which is truly rare nowadays.

In addition, the new car will be equipped with BMW's latest panoramic vision bridge + 3D head-up display system. The overall solution is a bit similar to the Avatr 11 in China, giving it a very strong sense of technology.

The official specs for the powertrain haven't been released yet, but the car will feature BMW's sixth-generation eDrive electric drive technology. In addition to the improved drive system, the car will have cylindrical cells and an 800-volt high-voltage electrical system, enabling it to add 300 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes of charging. s_de0ba57b910e499688963944f5c49411.jpg
