What Is a SensaTec Dashboard?

BMW is an automaker committed to protecting the environment, and this dedication can be seen in the increasing amount of hybrid and battery-powered BMW models, as well as the usage of eco-friendly materials such as SensaTec. Some 2023 BMW cars come standard with SensaTec seating surfaces and a SensaTec dashboard. Our dealers at BMW of Northwest Arkansas are happy to explain what exactly this material is and how it is beneficial.

SensaTec: A Green Alternative to Leather

In the past, the vast majority of luxury car interiors contained leather seating and dashboard surfaces. However, in order to provide drivers with a more environmentally friendly option than leather, BMW created SensaTec. This is a type of animal-free upholstery that is also known for being stain resistant. Many new BMW models, such as the BMW X1, include SensaTec seating surfaces and dashboards as an option.

Why Choose SensaTec Materials?

When you’re configuring your new BMW car here at BMW of Northwest Arkansas, you may be wondering whether you should choose SensaTec surfaces, Nappa leather surfaces, or standard leather surfaces. While there is no incorrect choice out of these three, BMW SensaTec is a vegan, animal-free leather alternative that provides superior durability and stain resistance, thus making it a great option for those who prefer animal-free products.

In terms of luxury, the SensaTec material is comparable to genuine leather. Consider these overall benefits of choosing a SensaTec dashboard:

• Easy to clean and maintain
• Luxurious appearance and feel
• Durable performance in all weather conditions
• Reduces the methane emissions associated with raising livestock for leather
