When you walk up to the BMW X3, you might be drawn in by its exterior curves and appearance. That being said, you spend most of your time inside your car, not staring at it. When it’s time to get up and go, you need an interior that can keep up with your fast-paced lifestyle.

Our 2021 BMW X3 interior review takes you inside this sleek BMW SUV so you know what to expect before you even take a test drive. When it’s time for that test drive at BMW of Stratham, get in touch with a member of our sales team. We’ll make sure your adventures around Stratham, Portsmouth, or Exeter, NH, are emboldened by the X3.


BMW X3 Interior: Dimensions

BMW X3 Interior

Once of the reasons you’re looking for an SUV is because of the extra space this automotive body style provides. When it comes to the interior of the 2021 BMW X3, up to five passengers can travel comfortably inside.

2021 BMW X3 Interior Dimensions

  • Headroom (front/rear): 41.1/38.5 inches
  • Legroom (front/rear): 40.3/36.4 inches
  • Shoulder room (front/rear): 57.6/56 inches

These dimensions make it possible for passengers to sit anywhere within the cabin and have ample room to stretch out. Whether you’re traveling with your kids in the back seat, your spouse in the front, or have a full cabin of colleagues, everyone will have all the space they need.

BMW X3 Interior: Cargo Capacity

BMW knows you’re doing more than traveling with people. From grocery shopping to weekends away, you need room for whatever gear comes along with you. Luckily, the 2021 X3 offers plenty of cargo space for all your adventures.

BMW X3 Cargo Capacity

  • Rear seats upright: 28.7 cubic feet
  • Rear seats folded down: 62.7 cubic feet

When you have a full cabin of passengers, the standard 28.7-cubic-foot capacity offers more than enough space for a week’s worth of groceries, a new kitchen table for your latest upgrade, and much more.

Going on a week-long road trip? Doing some interior remodeling? The BMW X3 comes standard with a 40/20/40 split fold-down through-load rear seats that allow you to customize your passenger/cargo space needs. On those days when you need as much room as possible, fold down the rear seats completely to obtain a maximum cargo capacity of 62.7 cubic feet.

Easy Loading of Cargo Area

Not only does the BMW X3 provide plenty of cargo space, but it also makes loading up the cargo area easier than ever thanks to features like the standard power tailgate. This feature is particularly helpful when your hands are full.

As long as you have your key in your pocket or bag, simply wave your foot under the rear bumper, then watch as the trunk magically lifts without using your hands.

Thanks to this feature, you’ll never have to put anything down to load or unload the cargo area!

BMW X3 Interior: Design

Stepping inside the cabin of the 2021 BMW X3, you’re transported to a world of luxury. From its premium upholstery to its variety of trim options, you’re sure to feel like royalty behind the wheel.

The BMW X3 interior features welcoming SensaTec upholstery in Black or Canberra Beige/Black that carries the look and feel of leather without being real––something we can all get behind as we do our best to make environmentally conscious decisions.

If you prefer genuine leather upholstery, the BMW X3 interior comes with optional Vernasca leather.

The Dark Oak Wood trim gives the cabin a premium feel, but there are additional trim options you can choose to upgrade your cabin.

Vernasca Leather Upholstery Colors

Trim Options

  • Canberra Beige/Black with contrast stitching
  • Black
  • Oyster with contrast stitching
  • Cognac with contrast stitching
  • Aluminum
  • Fineline Cove Matte Finish Wood
  • Aluminum Rhombicle, optional

Thanks to this variety of upholstery and trim options, your X3 cabin is full of sleek and luxurious options.

BMW X3 Interior: Comfort & Convenience Features

BMW X3 Interior

Comfort and convenience features are here to provide a pleasant ride for all five passengers.

Starting up front, you can enjoy the standard power front sport seats with memory system. What does that mean for you? Even if someone else takes the wheel, you’ll be able to recall your preferred settings the next time you drive.

Not only will this Advanced Vehicle & Key Memory system remember your preferred seating position, but it will also recall your favorite climate, mirror, and audio settings.

Speaking of climate, the BMW X3 interior works hard to ensure the comfort of you and your passengers no matter what the climate outside thanks to these climate-centered amenities:

  • Automatic 3-zone Climate Control: Lets you, your front-seat passenger, and your rear-seat passengers independently set and adjust the climate settings throughout the commute.
  • Front and rear heated seats: Allows you to stay toasty warm in the winter and keep muscles relaxed on long commutes thanks to this optional feature.

There’s no shortage of comfort features offered with the BMW X3.

Working Hard for You: Convenience Features

On top of helping you stay comfortable, the BMW X3 works hard to ensure you have the most convenient commute possible.

This may be a minor feature, but we think it’s great that BMW engineers have included it. When the X3 is in reverse, the passenger side-view mirror will automatically tilt down so you gain better visibility of the curb when backing up. It’s the little things, right?

On top of that, an automatic dimming interior rear-view mirror and driver’s side exterior mirror come standard, too. When driving at night, the ultra-bright headlights of cars behind you won’t cause any distractions.

The Engine Start/Stop button is a nice feature to have, too. There’s no need to put the key in the ignition anymore since you can settle into your seat, press the button, and get on your way quickly.

BMW X3 Interior: Technology

BMW X3 drivers have access to pioneering technology. With the latest tech right at your fingertips, you can stay connected, entertained, and—most importantly—safe.

BMW X3 Interior Technology:

  • Live Cockpit Plus/Live Cockpit Professional: Integrates the digital 5.7-inch or optional 12.3-inch instrument cluster—along with a high-resolution 10.25-inch central information display—that provides control, connectivity, and customization on every drive.
  • BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant: Acts like s friend along for the drive with you, even if you’re driving solo. Just say “Hey, BMW” to activate this system and see how it can help you reach your destination or find a new song.
  • Active Driving Assistant: Works to ensure the safe arrival of you and your passengers. Using a series of cameras and sensors, this advanced safety suite will alert you when you’re unintentionally drifting from your marked lane, alert you to potential forward collisions, and more.

On top of these advanced features, the X3 comes standard with Apple CarPlay™, making it easy to always have your favorite tunes and compatible apps along for the ride.
