BMW X5 INTERIOR: THE AESTHETICS OF LUXURY

Enter the cabin of the 2022 X5, and you’ll find a well-crafted interior with a strong visual appeal. The trim on the dash is a high-quality Fineline Stripe Brown High-Gloss Wood and curves in an elegant gesture to the passenger side pillar. Plus, the infotainment screen protrudes boldly above the center stack and draws all eyes to the center.

Want something other than the Fineline Stripe Brown High-Gloss trim? The X5 is offered in a variety of different trim styles, including:­­

  • Brown-Metallic Ash Grain Wood
  • Aluminum Dark Mesh
  • Anthracite-Brown Poplar Matte Finish Wood
  • Aluminum Tetragon

Thanks to this variety, you’re sure to find the accent trim material that matches the look you want.

On top of your choice of accent trim, the BMW X5 also comes with SensaTec upholstery in various colors, like Black and Canberra Beige/Black. Upgrade to the optional Vernasca or Merino leather upholstery for a truly premium feel. With this upgrade, you not only get a different material, but you also have many more colors to choose from, including:

  • Coffee
  • Cognac
  • Ivory White
  • Tartufo
  • Ivory White/Night Blue­­­­­­

Once you settle into the comfortable seats, you’ll want to place your hand over the available smooth glass controls. They feel nice under your fingertips while also adding extra sleekness to the interior.


BMW X5 INTERIOR: SEATING & SPACE

The 2022 X5 has earned praise for its comfortable features thanks to the luxurious materials and amenities, like heated front seats and optional massaging capabilities. But these amenities aren’t the only things that make the X5 a comfortable ride. It’s also quite spacious, accommodating up to seven passengers with the optional third-row configuration.

To help you get a better idea of how spacious the X5 is, let’s take a look at the standard BMW X5 interior dimensions for the base 5-passenger model.

Headroom (front/rear)

40.8/38.7 inches

Legroom (front/rear)

39.8/37.4 inches

Shoulder room (front/rear)

60/58.1 inches

Thanks to these spacious dimensions, you and your passengers will have plenty of room to stretch out and get comfortable. You’ll also find several standard luxuries up front, including power-adjustable sport seats with 2-way power thigh support. If that’s not enough, you can upgrade to 20-way power Multi-contour seats for even more flexibility.

To get the most out of your seats, upgrade to include optional ventilated front seats, available heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel. You can even get heated armrests, so every part of your body remains cozy during your travels.

Passenger space isn’t all the BMW X5 has to offer, though. You’ll have plenty of room to load up groceries, new décor, and weekend getaway bags in the rear of the SUV. Need a bit more cargo room? Utilize the standard 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats to achieve a maximum cargo capacity of 72.3 cubic feet.
