Dynamic Power That Adapts to Every Drive
Under the hood, the 2026 BMW X3 features a 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo Inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 255 horsepower. The combination of a Twin-Scroll Turbocharger, Variable Valve Control, and High-Precision Direct Injection creates smooth, responsive acceleration with efficiency in mind. The new 48V Mild Hybrid System enhances both power delivery and fuel economy, offering an extra boost when needed while keeping your drive balanced and refined.
The BMW X3’s 8-speed STEPTRONIC Automatic Transmission includes Sport and Manual modes, Adaptive Transmission Control, and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for a more engaging experience. Drivers can choose between ECO PRO, COMFORT, and SPORT modes to tailor the performance to their preference or road conditions. With a 0-60 mph time of just 6.0 seconds, the BMW X3 delivers the quickness expected from a BMW while maintaining excellent composure.
BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system and advanced chassis engineering ensure confident handling in all conditions. Dynamic Stability Control, Cornering Brake Control, and Servotronic power-steering assist work together for a responsive yet comfortable ride. The double-joint front axle and 5-link rear suspension contribute to agile cornering and smooth highway cruising, making the BMW X3 as capable on winding roads as it is on city streets.
Interior Comfort with a Purpose
Inside the 2026 BMW X3, you will find an interior designed to make every trip comfortable and intuitive. Power front sport seats with side bolsters, 4-way lumbar support, and driver’s seat memory provide both support and personalization. Heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control keep the cabin pleasant in every season, while adjustable ambient lighting adds a touch of modern luxury to the atmosphere.
Practicality meets elegance throughout the cabin. The through-loading system and fold-up rear armrest make it easy to adapt the space for passengers or cargo. Storage compartments in the doors, seatbacks, and center console help keep small items organized, and power outlets in both the front and rear console areas ensure your devices stay charged. Comfort Access Keyless Entry and the Power Tailgate add convenience to your daily routine, while the Digital Key Plus feature allows you to unlock and start the BMW X3 with ease using a compatible smartphone.
Attention to detail extends to every surface and feature, from the automatic-dimming mirrors and rain-sensing wipers to the privacy glass and illuminated vanity mirrors. Every element is designed to make driving feel effortless and comfortable.
