While it might seem like a bold or even impractical choice, white interiors boast a surprising number of advantages. Sure, they might not be the most forgiving of colors for messy eaters, but done right, a white interior can elevate the look and feel of a car’s cabin to luxurious heights.

For those who are willing to put in the extra effort, the payoff can be significant. White interiors have a natural ability to make even small car cabins feel airy and spacious. Plus, white interiors offer a surprising practical benefit: They can help keep your car cooler in hot weather due to their ability to naturally reflect sunlight. What does this mean for you? Your seats and dashboard won’t absorb as much heat as they would if finished in darker colors.

Let’s explore 10 cars with white and off-white interiors. You may be surprised by some of these options.

1

BMW iX

The all-electric BMW iX is a marvel to behold, and its interior design is no exception. The cabin of the iX is a symphony of luxury and cutting-edge technology, and its optional off-white interior option, called Oyster, takes things to a whole new level. This light and airy color scheme perfectly complements the iX’s spacious and minimalist interior design.

These Oyster seats are crafted from perforated SensaTec synthetic leather, which is both stylish and durable. Heated front seats are standard and ventilated front seats are available, ensuring year-round comfort. The light color palette helps to reduce visual clutter and create a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a serene driving experience.

Volvo S90

Volvo is renowned for its focus on safety, quality, and Scandinavian design principles. It’s no surprise the S90 sedan is a perfect embodiment of these values. The interior of the S90 showcases comfort and sophistication, and its available white interior option, called Blond Leather, takes this to the next level.

The S90’s Blond Leather seats are made from high-quality Nappa leather that is both soft and supple. They are also heated and optionally ventilated. The light-colored leather is tastefully combined with Gray Ash decor to create an interior that is more elegant and less showy than its German rivals.

An all-electric SUV, the Acura ZDX is as sleek, sporty, and future-forward as it is eye-catching. One of its tasteful interior color options is its off-white option, known as Orchid, which furthers the notion of the ZDX’s futuristic design.

Even better? The Orchid seats feature diamond-pattern stitching, further enhancing the feeling of luxury, but the fun doesn’t end there. With an estimated driving range of up to 313 miles, you can conquer road trips with confidence. And, with 500 hp in the case of the Type S, performance is plentiful.

Tesla Model X

A pioneer through and through, Tesla has long been known for its focus on minimalism and technology in its vehicles, like the Model X. Tesla offers a touch of classic elegance with its off-white interior option, called Cream, and the Black and White with Walnut decor.

While these come at a $2,000 premium, they transform the Model X’s interior into an even more airy and inviting space. These synthetic leather seats also boast a clean, pure white hue that creates a dramatic contrast with the Model X’s standard black dashboard and headliner.

This interior design creates a sophisticated and calming atmosphere within the spacious A8 cabin. However, this package delivers more than just a fresh color palette.

This creates a unique contrast within the sporty and aggressively styled cabin. The seats feature a combination of plush, soft Silverstone leather on the central portions with a worn-in, distressed look on the bolsters achieved with the use of Vintage Coffee leather.

Of course, the XM’s interior is about more than just color choices. BMW went all out with luxurious textures that blend leather with suede-like Alcantara. Available open-pore wood trims and metallic carbon fiber accents also add to the visually stimulating environment.

And as with any BMW these days, technology is a centerpiece. This includes a curved display setup and an option for a head-up display to appeal to those who wish to stand out from the crowd with a daring and unconventional look.
