Interesting, curious to see what they do with it after seeing the x1,2,3.

David Kunitz · 07-01-2024, 10:03 AM

Interesting, I wonder how heavy it will be...

hassam1957 · 07-01-2024, 10:04 AM

Somewhere between 5500lbs and Jupiter if I had to take a guess. Probably closer to the ladder lmao

reprod · 07-01-2024, 10:04 AM

Oh boy... Oh yeah... Anyone know if this will still be engineered with no front trunk?

Yes, both the iX3 and iX5 is neue klasse platform.

drexplode · 07-01-2024, 10:26 AM

check out the new door handles!

The latest from ynguldyn still has the iX5 on the G series CLAR platform.

Things change but that would be a significant move for bmw to add a bigger neue klasse version right after the i3/ix3 go out the door. Demonstrated confidence in the platform.

JMD · 07-01-2024, 10:26 AM

Hmm, it has the silhouette of a Toyota Highlander!

Edit: Guess I'll pump my brakes on a 50e for now.

gsanto · 07-01-2024, 10:28 AM

Is it typical of spy photos to be taken of a car sitting in some secrete location then being cut and pasted into a bucolic rural setting like these clearly are?

Regardless, if real, this doesn't look half bad. You can tell there is a bit of the neue klasse vision in the front but hard to tell anything else given the fake cladding stuck on the sides and lack of full on rear shot. Interesting.

If no Frunk,...BMW can forget about it hitting E53, E70, F15, and G05 sales numbers!

hufington · 07-01-2024, 10:37 AM

It looks like BMW is beefing this up on the prairie.

kgelfen360 · 07-01-2024, 10:42 AM

I like the shape

Neue Klass will have one as it is designed to be EV only, not a shared platform.

Bimmerfun82 · 07-01-2024, 10:59 AM

Wonder how it will compare to the existing iX platform or what they’ll end up doing with the iX… our M60 is similar to the X5 size

WeryPert1 · 07-01-2024, 11:29 AM

What the heck is going on at the bottom of the doors??

krypttic · 07-01-2024, 11:35 AM

Hopefully they offer it in a different color…

ynguldyn · 07-01-2024, 11:50 AM

This is NOT NK.

Glazonyoursix · 07-01-2024, 11:52 AM

I actually like the overall shape and Styling. Glad that the design we saw on the Neue Klasses X model. Personally think the overall shape is sportier and more Slope back like the new X3. You can see that it will carry the same split tailgate.
