BMW pretty much set the tone for what we should expect on the design front with the upcoming X4 sporty-looking crossover when it presented a thinly disguised concept back in April at the Shanghai Auto Show. At least on the outside, because the concept’s blacked out windows did not allow us to take a peek inside.

Then again, we were expecting most of the interior parts to be borrowed from the current X3, which forms the base for the X4, and these first shots of its interior simply confirm this.

No surprises here, as the dashboard is identical to that of the X3, as are many other elements of the cabin like the seats and the switchgear – the same, of course, applies to everything under the skin.

And just in case you were pondering what the X4 looks like next to its more practically-shaped X3 sibling, our spies took a few shots of the two crossovers parked next to each other at BMW’s facility.

Sales of BMW’s downsized X6 will begin sometime next year.
