Standard Luxury

BMW X5: Standard Luxury Inside the Cabin

There are many variations of the 2022 BMW X5. Right from the start, the BMW X5 exudes a certain air of luxury and class. Base materials like the SensaTec upholstery and SensaTec Dashboard look great and also hold up well to long-term usage.

The Anthracite Headliner and stripe brown high-gloss Wood trim also stand out. The 3-spoke steering wheel is leather-wrapped for softness while retaining its aggressive, sporty appearance.

Multi-color ambient lighting is adjustable, so you can alter the mood of the interior to your liking. There are 12 predefined options to move among. And if the weather gets chilly, the 3-stage heated front seats will keep you toasty warm.

Finally, the combination of active-charcoal micro-filter ventilation and the Multi-zone Climate Control system with air recirculation means the cabin is always flush with filtered air.


BMW X5: Abundant Technology

A BMW model always has new-age technology working to make your life easier. The BMW X5 pairs the 12.3-inch touchscreen along the center stack with the 12.3-inch live cockpit digital instrument cluster. You can adjust both screens to do whatever it is you need. Over-the-air updates will help these technology hubs stay on the cutting edge of technology.

The list of standard technologies also includes:

  • Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™
  • 10-speaker sound system
  • BMW ConnectedDrive® Services

X5 Interior Space

BMW X5: Enough Room for Whatever You Need

If you require the extra seating space, you can opt for the BMW X5 to have a third row, bumping the capacity from five to seven passengers. So, the model can certainly work as a family hauler if that’s what you’re after.

In 2-row design, the interior is still plenty roomy for road trips, daily errands, or trips for soccer practice. The front legroom measures 39.8 inches, and the rear is 37.4 inches. In terms of side-to-side space, the front shoulder room is 60 inches, while the second row offers 58.1 inches.
