2021 BMW X3 Interior Review

BMW X3: A Striking Cabin with Bold Style

From the moment you enter the cabin of the BMW X3, you'll be transported into refined comfort and style. Dark oak wood trim is found around the interior for a touch of sophistication that highlights some of the most exciting features of your SUV.

On sunny days, open the panoramic moonroof to bathe your cabin in natural light. This available feature spans both rows, providing clear views of the sky to all your passengers.

When armed with an available 382-horsepower motor, the X3 can take you from 0 MPH to 60 MPH in a mere 4.4 seconds. And such a dynamic ride calls for supportive front seats to keep you centered through all the thrills of the open road.

Luckily, this car is armed with power front sport seats with 2-way side bolsters to keep you firmly in place around every corner. You even get a memory system, so if you're not the only one driving the X3, you both can save your perfect driving seat settings.

All the seats in the X3 have SensaTec Upholstery, which combines comfort and style. You can get the look and ease of leather and with higher trims, get that same look on your X3's dashboard.

With the Premium or Executive Packages, you can take your seats one step further-opt-in for heated seats in both the front and the rear, or more lumbar support. You can even combine this with the available heated steering wheel so you can wrap yourself in warmth if those days turn unusually chilly.

Interior Dimensions of the BMW X3

In addition to premium amenities, the comfortability of your next luxury vehicle begins in its construction. And fortunately, the BMW X3 is crafted with the following interior dimensions.

The X3 has 41.1 inches of front headroom and 38.5 inches of rear headroom, so even your taller passengers won't have to worry about hitting their heads. If you're on a long road trip, your passengers can stretch out with 40.3 inches of legroom in the front and 36.4 inches in the rear. With a full cabin, no one will feel jammed in, with 57.6 inches of shoulder room in the front and 56.0 inches in the rear row.

Along with enough room for taller passengers and drivers to fit comfortably, the BMW X3 offers 28.7 cubic feet of cargo room for you to stow away your shopping bags.

Don't worry about making larger purchases, though, since the inside of this SUV is completely customizable with split-folding rear seats. So, when you need some extra room, simply fold the rear seat flat for a maximum of 62.7 cubic feet of space.

Comfort and Convenience in the BMW X3

The X3 has many different features focused on your comfort and convenience. If you're headed out on a road trip or have just finished running your daily errands, use the standard power tailgate to open the trunk without putting down your bags. Just press a button, and the trunk opens for you.

Do you and your passenger have differing opinions when it comes to the ideal temperature of the X3? There's no need to argue or compromise. Just use the Automatic 3-Zone Climate Control system. You each can set your preferred temperature, and your X3 will make sure to keep you both comfortable.

To help you nail that perfect parking spot, the X3 has a standard Rear-View Camera and Front and Rear Park Distance Control. You can see obstacles behind you on the central display, and the Front and Rear Park Distance Control help you stay far enough away from any potential obstacles as you parallel park.

On higher-level trims like the X3 M40i, the X3 has a standard, fully integrated digital display where the typical instrument cluster is. This 12.3-inch screen that acts as a digital instrument cluster is called the Live Cockpit Professional. From this display, you can get navigation information, vehicle information, alerts, and more.

Engage in Your Everyday Drive in the BMW X3

Enhance your exhilarating ride further with the premium technology found in the BMW X3. In addition to a 10.25-inch iDrive 6.0 system with navigation, Real-Time Traffic is also offered through the Connected Package Professional. This feature helps you keep an eye on traffic patterns so you can easily navigate around road closures and accidents, ensuring you arrive at your destination on time.

A HiFi Sound System is also paired to this infotainment system to provide you with a premium listening experience through 12 speakers found throughout your SUV. Apple CarPlay™ integration on your display allows for quick access to your music library for a customizable listening experience throughout your morning commute.  

In addition to these technologies, the BMW X3 also has a standard, built-in WiFi Hotspot that includes a 3 GB 3-month trial. If you or your passengers need access to the internet while you're on the go, you can get it directly through your X3.

The X3 also comes standard with the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. You can keep your hands on the wheel and use the phrase "Hey, BMW…" or a personal activation to activate your assistant. This can change entertainment settings, navigation, and other vehicle settings so you can focus on the road.
