Welcome aboard the BMW iX3

On board the new 100% electric BMW iX3, everything has been designed to provide a bright, functional, and technology-centered cabin.
The 2026 BMW iX3 introduces the German manufacturer’s new Neue Klasse platform. It offers a completely redesigned cabin, focused on simplicity and technology. The most visible innovation is the Panoramic Vision, a display projected onto the lower part of the windshield that replaces the traditional instrument cluster. Information is displayed clearly and legibly, regardless of the external brightness.
The steering wheel is compact and integrates the essential controls. On the left, buttons manage driving assistance systems, while on the right, multimedia controls are located. These physical controls should prove to be much more practical in use than menu options on a digital screen. A nice detail is that they illuminate only when they can be used. Some settings, such as air vent flow, are logically controlled via the central 17-inch touchscreen, which includes all of BMW’s OS functions and the navigation, multimedia, and configuration menus. BMW has therefore made a conscious choice for a mix of physical and digital controls.
A cabin worthy of a BMW
The dashboard adopts a clean design with varied materials. Decorative touches, such as luminous inserts behind the passenger side fabric, complete the whole. The center console offers two USB-C ports, two wireless charging ports, and a small storage space.
At the back, the cabin maintains classic proportions for an SUV of this size. The seats are positioned in a traditional configuration, and the panoramic roof is available as an option. The central seat is elevated, while the side seats retain a standard layout.
The main trunk offers 520 liters of volume, with a low and wide access threshold. A front trunk of 58 liters complements the storage capacities at the front, ideal for charging cables or small luggage. The air vents, console, and controls are arranged functionally for easy access from all seats.

There were concerns that this first Neue Klasse could be a modernization exercise that was too excessive. This is absolutely not the case, and the entire cabin reflects a balance between modern technology and a clean design, with materials chosen for their appearance and finish, and controls grouped logically.
