2026 BMW X3 40d xDrive Automatic

The 2026 BMW X3 40d xDrive combines the practicality of a premium SUV with the substantial performance and long-distance character expected from BMW’s diesel-powered range. Finished in Sophisto Grey Brillant Effect metallic with a black interior, this new example is presented with automatic transmission, all-wheel drive and five seats, making it a versatile proposition for everyday driving as well as extended travel.

Its diesel powertrain produces 210 kW and 650Nm, giving the X3 strong reserves of torque for confident acceleration and relaxed cruising. The quoted combined fuel consumption is 6.6L/100km, while the 60-litre fuel tank supports the vehicle’s touring-oriented character. An official acceleration figure of 0-100km/h in 5.40 seconds and a maximum speed of 245 km/h underline that this is not simply a comfort-focused SUV; the 40d designation brings a distinctly performance-minded edge.

The xDrive all-wheel-drive system adds an extra layer of traction across changing road conditions, while variable sport steering and the M Sport brake system reinforce the driver-focused specification. Automatic transmission with gearshift paddles provides the convenience of a self-shifter with the option of greater driver involvement when desired.

Inside, the cabin is configured to balance support, comfort and technology. Sport seats for the driver and front passenger are paired with electric adjustment and memory functionality, while lumbar support and heated front and rear seats make the interior better suited to longer journeys. Active front-seat ventilation is included through the Comfort package, alongside rear side-window roller sunblinds. The heated steering wheel, automatic air conditioning and ambient lighting add further everyday refinement.

A panoramic glass roof helps bring additional light into the cabin, while Comfort Access reduces the need to handle the key during normal use. Practical touches include a luggage-compartment net, a Tyre Repair Kit Plus and wireless charging storage. The Travel & Comfort System is also specified, extending the cabin’s flexibility for passengers and longer trips.

Technology and safety equipment includes BMW Live Cockpit Professional, DAB+ radio, a personal eSIM, TeleServices and Intelligent Emergency Calling. The Equipment package Professional adds Parking Assistant Plus and an interior camera, supporting easier manoeuvring and additional cabin functionality. Adaptive LED headlights, sun protection glazing, a tyre-pressure monitor, active pedestrian protection and an anti-theft security system are also listed.

The exterior specification includes the BMW Iconic Glow Exterior Package, M Sport exterior parts, M High-Gloss Shadow Line detailing and a panoramic roof. Inside, the M Sport treatment brings an M leather steering wheel, anthracite headliner, M Sport interior parts and Fine-Brushed Aluminium interior trim. An Enhancement package adds an alarm system and Harman Kardon Surround Sound, creating a well-resolved blend of equipment, comfort and presentation.
