The BMW exec refrained from detailing whether it will be a sedan or a different body style, such as a crossover to mirror the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/04\/03\/bmw-x3-m-tesla-model-ydrag-race\/\">X3<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen it [Neue Klasse] hits the market, it will be concentrated on the 3 Series segment and at that point in time the market will have developed into a size where it is reasonable to have only one drivetrain in that architecture.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The second part of his statement is interesting as Zipse suggests there might not be a need for a combustion engine anymore. As a refresher, Neue Klasse was announced as a platform mostly dedicated to EVs, but with ICE support.
