BMW, Mercedes, and VW are going on the offensive at the IAA Mobility 2025: with a new generation of electric cars, groundbreaking technology—and sometimes even with falling prices.
Back to the future would be a fitting theme for this IAA ; in some places, the auto show resembles a classic car convention. The traditional brands exude a sense of comforting nostalgia, adorning their new models with the tinsel of the past. The glittering radiator grille of the Mercedes GLC evokes the years of the economic miracle. BMW 's "New Class" also cites an advertising slogan from the early 1960s, and the vertical kidney grilles are a legacy of the late BMW 1500. From a time when technological progress was still a promise and such cars were considered dream cars.
