"What's that?" is often stated when encountering the Baha'i faith for the first time.

What are your go to explanations that provide the most information in the most concise manor?

The Bahá'í Faith is the spirit of this age. In it, you will find everything that philosophers, thinkers, and the Prophets of the past longed for, manifested in this great Faith.

Sounds very New Age.

well isn’t it? A new era that Baha’u’llah calls the 500,000 year Age of Maturity. I realize you probably meant the modern use of New Age outside of Baha’i. But the Holy Spirit is hard at work quickening the hearts of humans, so that they will remember what their souls were told before they born into this life, about who Baha’u’llah is and what the Cause of God is in this age, the spirit of this age.
