Doors that prevent opening and brakes that correct driving errors, this is the safety in BMW's Neue Klasse

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General28 August 2026 at 13:44

BMW will take advantage of the arrival of the Neue Klasse to expand its standard active safety systems in its vehicles. This expansion represents a significant investment in the German brand's safety technology.

The first model to incorporate these improved systems is the new BMW iX3. Subsequently, these safety technologies will also be made available in the BMW i3, the BMW X5 and the BMW Series 7.

Some of the new features go well beyond the classic acoustic warning or automatic braking. Among the innovations mentioned are doors that prevent opening and brakes that correct driving errors, making the driving experience safer.
