2026 BMW X3 40d xDrive Automatic

The 2026 BMW X3 40d xDrive brings together the practicality of a mid-size SUV with a strong diesel powertrain and BMW's all-wheel-drive system. Finished in Alpine White with a black interior, this new example has travelled 0 km and pairs its 210 kW output and 650 Nm of torque with an automatic transmission. The result is a specification oriented towards confident long-distance driving, effortless overtaking and useful traction in changing conditions.

Its diesel engine is quoted with a combined fuel consumption figure of 6.6L/100km, while the published performance data includes a 245 km/h maximum speed and 0-100km/h acceleration in 5.40 seconds. Those figures place the X3 40d xDrive firmly in the performance-focused end of the X3 range without sacrificing the everyday flexibility expected from an SUV. A 60-litre fuel tank further supports its role as a vehicle suited to regular highway travel as well as urban use.

The cabin is designed around comfort and usability. Electric seat adjustment with memory, lumbar support for the driver and front passenger, and heated front and rear seats provide a broad range of adjustment for occupants. Active front-seat ventilation is included as part of the Comfort package, while the heated steering wheel adds convenience in cooler conditions. Sport seats, ambient lighting and a black interior give the cabin a distinctly driver-focused character.

Passenger and luggage duties are supported by practical touches including a luggage-compartment net, Comfort Access and rear side-window sunblinds. The panoramic glass roof adds a greater sense of openness to the interior, while sun-protection glazing helps moderate the cabin environment. Automatic air conditioning is fitted for straightforward temperature control.

Technology is centred on BMW Live Cockpit Professional, with a DAB+ tuner, personal eSIM and TeleServices among the listed equipment. An interior camera forms part of the Professional equipment package, which also includes Parking Assistant Plus to make low-speed manoeuvring and parking more manageable. Wireless charging storage provides a convenient place for compatible devices, while Harman Kardon surround sound is included through the Enhancement Package.

Exterior and chassis equipment includes the BMW Iconic Glow Exterior Package, adaptive LED headlights, variable sport steering and an M Sport brake system. The M Sport package adds leather steering-wheel trim, M Sport exterior and interior parts, an anthracite headliner and M High-Gloss Shadow Line detailing. A panorama glass roof and Alpine White paint complete the specification listed for this vehicle.

Safety and preparedness equipment includes a tyre-pressure monitor, Tyre Repair Kit Plus, an anti-theft security system, intelligent emergency calling, active pedestrian protection and a warning triangle. The X3 also includes automatic transmission gearshift paddles, allowing the driver greater control when desired while retaining the convenience of automatic operation.
