The design was made in order to save necessary weight, and sacrifices crew comfort.
Like the BMD-1, the BMD-2 has an extremely cramped interior space.
It is much smaller than the ones inside the BMP-1 and BMP-2 IFVs.
It can carry five infantrymen, including vehicle's commander, bow machine gunner and three soldiers seated behind the turret.

It is equipped with periscope vision blocks on the sides and rear of the vehicle.
Also there are only three firing ports, two on each side of the hull and one in the rear.
