Wait, what? _All_ new vehicles need to have this? Or do they just need to be constructed such that one can be installed easily?

Looks like EU law, so considering the wording, probably every new car.

Also, see:

Edit:

The actual text:

> Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council requires motor vehicles of categories M and N to be equipped with certain advanced vehicle systems, including driver drowsiness and attention warning systems. It lays down in its Annex II basic requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to the driver drowsiness and attention warning systems.

The car must be built to allow for the installation of a breathalyser, i.e. some standardised interface. Doesn't really affect you unless you're ordered by a court to use one.
