Inside, BMW fits a 17.9-inch central display and its Panoramic Vision system, which projects information along the base of the windshield. A 3D head-up display is optional, while the voice assistant is based on Alexa+. In Germany, the Highway Assist function can support hands-free driving at up to 130 km/h when system conditions are met and the driver remains attentive.

  • Standard equipment includes the M Sport package, 20-inch wheels and a panoramic roof.
  • Cargo capacity is 490 liters, expanding to 1,600 liters with the rear seats folded.
  • A 58-liter front storage compartment is included.
  • Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 kg with a tow hitch.
