The Neue Klasse is coming back as the name of a dedicated EV platform that will initially underpin two models in the 3 Series segment. Speaking at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, company CEO Oliver Zipse said NE will be inaugurated with a \u201cdynamic sedan and a sporty activity vehicle,\u201d which is BMW speak for SUV.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, look for the first two NE-based models to be an i3 Sedan and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/09\/28\/2023-bmw-ix3-small-gear-selector\/\">iX3<\/a>. Both are already being sold today, but the former is made in China exclusively for the local market while the latter is not a truly global model since it\u2019s not sold in the United States. The CLAR-based EVs will eventually be superseded by their Neue Klasse equivalents. Oliver Zipse referred to the new models as being \u201cuncompromisingly designed for pure electromobility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-442513\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bmw-dee-images-04-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"bmw dee images 04 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bmw-dee-images-04-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bmw-dee-images-04-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bmw-dee-images-04-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bmw-dee-images-04-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bmw-dee-images-04.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw dee images 04 830x467\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-442513\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20467%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bmw-dee-images-04-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"bmw dee images 04 830x467\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bmw-dee-images-04-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bmw-dee-images-04-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bmw-dee-images-04-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bmw-dee-images-04-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bmw-dee-images-04.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw dee images 04 830x467\"\/><\/p>\n<p>BMW\u2019s head honcho went on to say Neue Klasse will represent a \u201cquantum leap\u201d as far as technology, design, and sustainability are concerned.
