Paris. Parallel to the market launch of the new BMW 1 Series, the new BMW X3 and the new BMW M5, the BMW Group will present the next steps in its unchanged product strategy at the Mondial de l'Auto Paris 2024. The focus is on the world premieres of the first all-electric MINI John Cooper Works models and the first joint motor show appearance of the latest concept studies of the BMW Neue Klasse, which will go into series production in 2025.
“The BMW Group is demonstrating its pioneering role in
electric mobility at the Mondial de l'Auto Paris with a
cross-segment range of electrified vehicles. Thanks to our
attractive BEV product portfolio, we are able to grow our
all-electric sales even in a demanding market environment. In the
European market, we were even able to gain market share with the BMW
brand,” says Jochen Goller, member of the Board of Management
of BMW AG, responsible for Customers, Brands, Sales.
What BMW M is to BMW, JCW is to MINI.
The new
all-electric MINI John Cooper Works models.
With the world premiere of the all-electric MINI John Cooper
Works Electric and the MINI John Cooper Works Aceman, the brand's long
racing history is transferred to the here and now with innovative
power. The two models effortlessly transfer motorsport expertise from
the race track to the road. In addition to the exclusive, sporty design
and optimised aerodynamic driving characteristics, MINI fans can also look forward to the brand's hallmark agile handling. Click [here] for more information.
The roll-out of electrification to the John Cooper Works brand within
MINI transmits another strong signal on how the BMW Group is committed
to electric driving as a strategic direction.
At the same time, the Mondial de l'Auto Paris 2024 marks the
ideal starting point for intensified communication in the further ramp
up for BMW Neue Klasse, due for launch in 2025.
First joint appearance of the BMW Vision Neue Klasse and BMW
Vision Neue Klasse X.
BMW is showing two Neue Klasse
Vision Vehicles in Paris, which provide an outlook on the wide range
of BMW's future model portfolio.
The BMW Vision New Class is a
sporty electric sedan for the premium mid-range. The BMW Vision New
Class X transfers the philosophy and technology of the future
generation of vehicles to the Sports Activity Vehicle segment.
"With the two vision cars for Neue Klasse we are showing
how we are going to change the look & feel of the BMW brand.
Many aspects of our cars will be completely new and yet we believe
that the Neue Klasse will reflect the very essence of the BMW
brand", says Adrian van Hooydonk, head of BMW Group Design.
Both vehicles are characterized by a clear, reduced design
language. In the interior, the next generation of BMW iDrive enables
intuitive interaction between driver and vehicle. The combination of
BMW Panoramic Vision, 3D Head-Up Display, Central Display and the new
multifunction steering wheel redefine the BMW driver orientation.
