The all-new 2023 BMW X1 gains a modern, tech-focused interior featuring the new BMW Curved Display with iDrive 8

Interior design. A generous feeling of space paired with the latest BMW technology.

The introduction of the all-new BMW X1 xDrive28i brings advances to the interior including extra space for those on board and their luggage, enhanced practicality, and an elevated digital technology experience. The new BMW iDrive powered by Operating System 8 represents a reimagining of the driver-centered cockpit design to focus on touch and voice control – via the BMW Curved Display and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. Through these advancements, a clean and simplified dash layout greets the driver every time they get behind the wheel.

The raised seating position, generous amounts of space which can be utilized in a variety of ways, and a sense of cutting-edge functionality define the driving experience in the new BMW X1. The design of its interior focuses on assured driving pleasure and versatility. Key features of this re-interpretation include the slender instrument panel, which serves as a stage for the BMW Curved Display, and a “floating” armrest with integral control panel.

The BMW Curved Display – with its frameless glass surface angled towards the driver – brings an elegantly modern highlight to the cabin. Below it, the dashboard accentuates the width of the interior with its generously sized and horizontal decorative surfacing. Slim air vents cleverly designed into the dash ensure even distribution of fresh air around the interior, with side air vents integrated into the A-pillars. The door trim elements with their sculpted upper panels and integrated door handles stand out with stylish yet functional design.

In the front section of the center console, directly below the central air vent, is space for two cup holders and a smartphone tray with indirect illumination on both sides. Secured by a movable clasp, phones can be placed here upright and visible to the driver and front passenger while being charged wirelessly.

There is generous storage space under the center armrest. Alongside the new toggle-style gear selector lever in the integral control panel are flush buttons for various vehicle functions such as the Start/Stop button, the volume control for the audio system and the My Modes button, which replaces the Driving Experience Control switch.

Standard BMW Live Cockpit Plus features BMW Maps, a Bluetooth interface, four USB-C ports as well as a 12V power socket in both the center console and the cargo area. The optional Harman Kardon premium sound system raises the number of speakers to 12 and the amplifier output to 205 watts, with tweeters are integrated into the door trim under high-quality stainless-steel grilles.

Standard ambient lighting provides a rich experience inside the cabin. The light distribution, brightness and color scheme can be configured via the iDrive menu, and this option also includes the dynamic interior light function, whose pulsating light signals an incoming phone call or an open door when the engine is running.

With a glass surface measuring about ten square feet, the optional panoramic glass sunroof floods the interior of the new BMW X1 with light and fresh air. The roller blind cover for the glass roof now has a multi-layer design and, like the glass panel itself, is electrically operated.

Display and control/operation system, connectivity. The new BMW Operating System 8 and innovative digital services.

The new BMW X1 also treats its occupants to the latest-generation BMW iDrive in the form of BMW Live Cockpit Plus. Based on BMW Operating System 8 and running new-generation software along with exceptionally powerful connectivity and data processing, it takes the interaction between the driver and vehicle into the digital future. The new BMW iDrive system offers many more ways for drivers to enjoy easy, intuitive, multimodal control of vehicle, navigation, infotainment, and communication functions and digital services.

The user experience on board the new BMW X1 is supported by the seamless interaction between the BMW Curved Display, voice control, the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel, and the optional BMW Head-Up Display. The new fully digital screen layout and the enhanced capabilities of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant mean the new BMW iDrive has been intentionally geared towards interaction using touch control and natural language.

Fully digital BMW Curved Display with state-of-the-art graphics.

Taking center stage in the interior of the new BMW X1 is the standard BMW Curved Display formed by a 10.25-inch instrument cluster and a central information display with a screen diagonal of 10.7 inches. The screens merge into a single unit behind a continuous glass surface that curves towards the driver.

The state-of-the-art graphics and the operating system’s menu structure have been designed with a smartphone-style appearance, making them perfect for intuitive touch control. The user interface impresses with its striking forms, dynamic light effects, strong depth of color, and modern color worlds. Its graphic layout can be customized to suit the driving situation and personal preferences.
