2026 BMW X3 20 xDrive Automatic

The 2026 BMW X3 20 xDrive combines the practical proportions of a medium SUV with BMW’s focus on composed road manners, carefully considered technology and a driver-oriented cabin. Finished in Red Burgundy with a Beige interior, this new example presents as a versatile five-seat vehicle with all-wheel drive and an automatic transmission.

Power comes from a petrol engine producing 140 kW (190 hp) and 310Nm, with drive distributed through the xDrive all-wheel-drive system. That configuration is suited to everyday Australian driving, providing additional traction across changing road surfaces while retaining the straightforward usability expected of an automatic SUV. The quoted combined fuel consumption is 7.5L/100km, while a 65-litre fuel tank supports practical touring between refuelling stops.

The X3’s cabin is specified with features aimed at making regular driving more comfortable and less demanding. Electric front seat adjustment with memory, lumbar support and heating for both the driver and front passenger allow the seating position to be tailored for different occupants. A heated steering wheel, automatic air conditioning and ambient lighting add useful comfort in varying conditions, while Comfort Access reduces the need to handle the key when entering or using the vehicle.

Technology is supported by BMW Live Cockpit Professional, a DAB+ tuner, a personal eSIM and wireless charging storage. These features provide a modern foundation for navigation, connectivity and media use, while Intelligent Emergency Calling and TeleServices add connected support functions. The optional Interior Camera forms part of the Equipment package Professional, alongside Parking Assistant Plus, giving the vehicle added assistance when manoeuvring in tighter spaces.

Exterior and chassis equipment gives the X3 a purposeful character without losing its everyday focus. Adaptive LED headlights are designed to improve illumination, while the BMW Iconic Glow Exterior Package, M Sport exterior parts, M High-Gloss Shadow Line and M Sport interior elements create a more distinctive presentation. Variable sport steering and an automatic transmission with gearshift paddles provide additional control for drivers who want a more involved response, and the M leather steering wheel contributes to the sporting theme inside.

Practical reassurance comes from a range of standard equipment designed for routine ownership. Tyre pressure monitoring, tyres with an emergency-run system and a Tyre Repair Kit Plus help address common tyre-related inconveniences. The vehicle also includes active pedestrian protection, an anti-theft security system, a warning triangle and the Travel & Comfort System. Sport seats, seat heating, electric memory adjustment and a heated steering wheel ensure that the specification is not limited to appearance, with the focus extending to daily usability.
