BMW is all set to unveil its much-awaited Vision Neue Klasse concept, which will give us a preview of the platform for future electric cars of the brand. The German luxury car brand is all set to unveil the Vision Neue Klasse concept on September 2. Right ahead of that, it has teased the light-up front grille of the concept EV.

The BMW Vision Neue Klasse concept is an electric vehicle platform that will underpin the brand's upcoming product lineup. The new teaser comes in the form of a short video posted on social media highlighting a portion of the front fascia of the concept. It shows the BMW's signature kidney grille that extends out of the frame. There is a flat, embossed roundel sitting between deep styling lines that stretch from the hood and run through the grille before meeting the bumper. This design philosophy is quite similar to the Vision Dee concept that was showcased in January 2023.
