The interior of the new generation BMW X3 in detail

Not only the shape and drive have changed, but also the interior of the BMW X3. The medium-sized SUV from Munich is now even bigger and more comfortable, and there is no lack of innovation even in the field of technology. So let's get inside the fourth generation BMW X3 and find out what has changed.

The cockpit of the new BMW X3 is based on the style of the previous models. The minimalistic design of the dashboard is characterized by the BMW Curved Display with a 12,3-inch instrument panel and a 14,9-inch infotainment system, which are placed next to each other and face the driver. The number of physical buttons has been reduced to a minimum, and the center console houses the shift-by-wire automatic transmission control buttons and the iDrive rotary button, which you can use to navigate the infotainment system menus.

When we talk about iDrive: the in-vehicle infotainment system is based on the BMW Operating System 9, which enables fast and intuitive use of many functions. In addition to customizing driving modes and camera views, there is no shortage of BMW Digital Premium services, which enable music and video streaming applications on the screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are standard.

The new X3 also pays attention to details. The dashboard, center console and door trims feature brushed aluminum strips and contrasting light elements, the color of which can be adjusted directly via the central display. Leather seats can be ordered in a variety of colors and finishes, while the air conditioning vents are BMW-specific. Settings can be made directly via a panel built into the driver's and passenger's doors. BMW makes the most of its gigantic dimensions – 4,75 meters long and 1,92 meters wide. The volume of the trunk is at least 570 liters (20 liters more than the previous model), which can be increased to 1 liters by folding the back row. If you opt for the plug-in hybrid version, you'll have to settle for a volume of 700 to 460 liters.
