Seat

Faurecia supplies the complete front seats of this vehicle. These “premium” seats are all produced in just-in-time mode at the Group’s Fountain Inn industrial complex in South Carolina.

Variations include the ten-way seat that offers backrest contour adjustments, active warming or cooling ventilation and massage functions. The five-way sports model includes manual adjustment for thighs and a driver-side memory function.

Up to nine motors power these ultra-functional seats, which are offered in various leather options and several trim options. The front seats are equipped as standard with powered settings and offer multiple adjustment functions, including seat-height and seat-back angle adjustment.

Customers can also choose from an extensive range of trim options in both fabric and high-end leather as well as a new trim specially created for the BMW X6 that blends Alcantara® with leather.

To protect occupants from neck injuries in the case of rear-end collision, the front seats of the BMW X6 feature active head restraints as standard.

Cockpit

Faurecia designed the instrument panel to provide maximum user comfort, while at the same time optimizing weight. The glass-fiber-reinforced polypropylene material used for the structure provides an instrument panel that is both lightweight and robust.

Particular care has also gone into the storage facilities. These include a double-opening glove compartment comprising a highly innovative power-operated magnetic opening and closing system providing ease of access for the user and an exemplary finish.

Optional leather finish on the instrument panel ensures a particularly exclusive effect in its touch and appearance, which is highlighted by the use of high-quality leather and seams as well as additional padding beneath the leather surface.

The trim bars in ash grain and flywheel aluminum were created especially for BMW’s Sports Activity Coupe. This dynamic design is even continued across the door panels with their twin-section trim effect.

This allows the glove compartment to merge elegantly and unobtrusively into the surrounding surfaces. Locking automatically with the doors, the glove compartment does not require a separate lock, the two-part lid opening upwards and downwards to provide convenient access to the fully-illuminated storage space inside.

The center console, also developed by Faurecia, is an extra element of comfort in the vehicle interior. This includes a spacious storage area that opens and closes in the same way as the glove compartment by means of a “butterfly” lid.

Further features on the center console are the two extra-large cup holders complete with lid that can even hold bottles firmly in position.

Door

The Faurecia door panels complete the interior harmony of the new BMW X6 thanks, once again, to the extremely high level of perceived quality. They are based on a structural framework made of injected styrene plastic, which provides excellent dimensional stability. The spacious pockets in the front and rear doors round off the wide range of storage facilities.
