The cabin uses high-quality soft-touch materials and a driver-focused layout with a slightly lower seating position than the X3 for a sportier feel. Front seats offer solid support and comfort for longer drives, with sport seats adding adjustable side bolsters. Rear legroom is adequate for three but headroom is tighter due to the coupe roofline. An optional panoramic glass roof floods the interior with light when closed and opens for fresh air.
Combined fuel use 5.2–5.4 l/100 km (diesel, NEDC, auto lower end).
Fuel tank capacity approx. 67 litres.
Condition Based Service (CBS) monitors oil and wear items. oil service typically indicated up to max. 30 000 km or 24 months.
Standard safety: driver/passenger airbags, front side airbags, front/rear head airbags, three-point belts with pretensioners and force limiters, DSC with ABS/DTC/CBC/DBC, Hill Descent Control.
Tyre pressure indicator standard.
The xDrive20d diesel delivers strong efficiency for mixed driving, with official combined figures in the low-to-mid 5 l/100 km range depending on transmission and tyres. Real-world use stays reasonable on longer trips thanks to the efficient TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder and 8-speed automatic option.
Servicing follows BMW’s Condition Based Service system, which tracks oil condition, brakes and filters via sensors and driving style. The display shows remaining distance or time. oil changes are due when indicated, with a maximum of around 30 000 km or two years. Brake fluid is replaced every two years.
Standard passive safety includes a full set of airbags and reinforced structure. Active systems centre on DSC stability control with supporting functions and Hill Descent Control. No separate Euro NCAP rating was published for this generation.
Day-to-day ownership benefits from the premium build and xDrive all-wheel drive. Keep to CBS prompts and use approved oils for reliability. the sloping roof means checking rear headroom for taller passengers and confirming options like electric seats or the panoramic roof on any used example.
