REVEALED More efficient battery and motors for Neue Klasse cars

- Alastair Crooks

BMW unveils next-gen

WE'VE already been given a good look at BMW's revolutionary new design language for its upcoming models, courtesy of the Vision Neue Klasse X SUV and the Neue Klasse sedan concepts.

We've seen inside too, thanks to a preview of the new panoramic iDrive system. But now it's time to delve deeper into what will power BMW's next-generation EVs. Step forward the sixth generation of BMW's eDrive technology.

The Gen6 eDrive system was shown off to Auto Express at the firm's Landshut plant near Munich, where Neue Klasse battery and electric-motor components will be made. BMW claims the battery and electric motors that'll be used in Neue Klasse models will provide 30 per cent faster charging and a similar increase in range over fifthgeneration eDrive models such as the i4, which has a range of 373 miles on the WLTP cycle. BMW also says we can expect even greater gains from certain models, such as the sleeker sedan.

Wreckreation

IF you love noughties classics such as Burnout, Need for Speed and Micro Machines, then Wreckreation is the game for you. We're certainly fans of good old-fashioned driving games. Too many have become realistic simulators that require expert skills, which at times foregoes the fun of gaming.

Tesla Model Y Standard

SOME people say EV pioneer Tesla is faltering. Sales figures are declining worldwide and it appears interest in the brand is waning. The reasons for this may be many, but it can’t be down to the cars themselves — especially since the Americans have proven with the Model Y facelift that they aren't resting on their laurels.
