BMW Vision iNext.
Intelligent-controlled BMW Vision iNext electro-crossover — full overview and key features.
The iNext electric car has become the real flagship of the new electric line of BMW cars. It is intended to demonstrate the ideas of the German automaker about what should be the car of the future.
For the implementation of the BMW iNext project, a crossover style was specially chosen to show a significant difference from previous i-developments. This model embodies many technical innovations that can be seen in future-generation BMW cars.
The acquaintance with the BMW Vision iNext was organized in a rather eccentric style — on board the Lufthansa Boeing 777F. A Boeing with a car flew out of Munich, and through New York followed to Frankfurt, having previously presented the news in San Francisco and Beijing. The tour lasted 5 days, from September 9 to September 14, 2018, and the electric crossover itself was always on the plane, and its presentation was presented on the flight platform.
The design of the appearance of the electric crossover was carried out by a BMW employee who was previously responsible for the exterior of the sixth and seventh series cars.
Smooth lines of thin headlights, a massive bumper, a radiator grille with blue lights and powerful wheels with a diameter of 24 inches are a completely new round in the history of futuristic design.
Two parts with blue backlighting are highlighted behind the car — this is the main trend of BMW electric vehicles.
In this model of the electric crossover, instead of the usual roof, there is a completely glass coating.
Main characteristics
At the moment, it is already known that the BMW iNext will be larger in size than the iX3, which is scheduled for release in 2020.
Important: the electric crossover will work in two driving modes: Boost (the owner controls the car himself) and Ease (BMW iNext works autonomously).
Since BMW iNext is an unmanned electric vehicle, touch monitors and interactive panels help to drive such a car.
Important: passengers in the back seat can control music playback simply by touching the upholstery: the fabric is interactive and responds to touch with luminous graphics.
According to unofficial information, the power reserve of the electric crossover depends on the modification, and in unmanned mode it will be able to overcome from 450 to 700 km in transit. The power of the electric crossover will be 800 horsepower.
iNext is painted in a color that, depending on the lighting, changes its hue from warm copper to dark pink.
Advantages and disadvantages of the electric crossover
Advantages
Preservation of the environment (complete absence of harmful emissions).

Prestige of a car owner.
disadvantages

Technical parameters in electric vehicles may decrease if the car is used in conditions of elevated subzero temperatures, as well as its congestion.
Battery pack
BMW noted that the battery packs for the modern electro-crossover will be developed at the BMW factory itself. Prior to this, the partner of the German company in this area was Samsung.
The price of the BMW iNext electrocrossover
There is no specific information on the price of the electric crossover so far. But, based on the fact that iNext is positioning itself as a competitor to Tesla Model 3, it can be assumed that its pricing policy will fluctuate around $ 35,000.
