2027 BMW X1 Interior: Specs, Tech & Cargo Space
The 2027 BMW X1 interior centers on the frameless BMW Curved Display, which merges a 10.25-inch digital instrument display and a 10.7-inch touchscreen into a single panel running BMW Operating System 9. Standard cabin features include perforated Veganza upholstery, heated power front seats, a SensaTec leatherette-upholstered dashboard, metal-look interior accents, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Wireless Charging tray, and a power liftgate.
BMW Curved Display and iDrive Technology
The centerpiece of the cabin is the curved panel that floats above the dashboard, integrating the instrument display and infotainment controls into one cohesive interface. You decide how to interact with it — by touch on the central screen or by voice through the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, so your navigation, messaging, and streaming apps appear right on the display. Physical switchgear is minimized in favor of clean surfaces, and the center console keeps everything within reach — including the standard Wireless Charging tray for your smartphone.
