2026 BMW X3 40d xDrive Automatic

The 2026 BMW X3 40d xDrive is a new-generation luxury SUV that combines a practical five-seat cabin with a strong diesel powertrain and all-wheel-drive traction. Finished in Sophisto Grey Brillant Effect metallic with a black interior, this example presents a restrained colour combination that suits the X3’s clean, contemporary design.

Its diesel engine produces 210 kW and 650 Nm, giving the vehicle a substantial reserve of torque for everyday acceleration and longer-distance driving. The eight-speed automatic transmission includes gearshift paddles, while xDrive all-wheel drive is intended to provide added traction across changing road conditions. A stated combined fuel consumption figure of 6.6L/100km and a 60-litre fuel tank support the X3’s role as a vehicle for both urban use and extended travel. The published performance figures include a 0-100 km/h time of 5.40 seconds and a maximum speed of 245 km/h.

Inside, the cabin is designed around comfort and usability rather than visual excess. Electric front-seat adjustment with memory allows a regular driving position to be retained, while lumbar support for both front occupants helps tailor the seating position. The sport seats, heated steering wheel and automatic air conditioning add useful comfort for daily driving, and the available seat-heating provisions extend to the rear seats. Active front-seat ventilation is also specified, giving the interior additional flexibility in warmer conditions.

The panoramic glass roof brings a greater sense of openness to the cabin, while ambient lighting and sun-protection glazing contribute to a more considered interior environment. Comfort Access allows keyless entry convenience, and the luggage-compartment net helps keep smaller items secured when the rear cargo area is being used. A wireless charging storage area and personal eSIM add everyday connectivity benefits without requiring the cabin to be cluttered with cables.

Technology and driver assistance equipment are substantial. BMW Live Cockpit Professional provides the central digital interface, with DAB+ radio and an interior camera included in the specification. Parking Assistant Plus is designed to reduce the effort involved in tight parking situations, while adaptive LED headlights help maintain forward visibility. Intelligent Emergency Calling, TeleServices, a tyre-pressure monitor and active pedestrian protection add further layers of reassurance. The vehicle also includes an anti-theft security system, warning triangle and a tyre repair kit.

Sporting details include variable sport steering, M Sport interior and exterior components, an M leather steering wheel, anthracite headliner and red high-gloss M Sport brakes. The fitted 21-inch M light-alloy wheels in Jet Black matt further distinguish the exterior. The equipment list also includes a Harman Kardon Surround Sound System, alarm system and front and rear seat heating, bringing together the performance-oriented and comfort-focused sides of the X3 40d xDrive.
