2026 BMW X3 Performance & Specs.
BMW starts off right with the xDrive30 model, which proves that base doesn't mean basic. Even this entry-level model can rocket from 0-60 in just 6 seconds flat! That impressive acceleration comes from the turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine pumping out 255 horsepower. The 48-volt mild hybrid system works seamlessly behind the scenes to boost efficiency.
For drivers who crave even more power, the M50 xDrive delivers with its 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine producing 393 horsepower. This beast launches from 0-60 in just 4.4 seconds!
Both models feature BMW's smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. This transmission outperforms what you'll find in the smaller X1 and X2 models with quicker shifts and better responsiveness.
2026 BMW X3 Capability.
The 2026 BMW X3 backs its impressive engines with capabilities designed for real-world adventures. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 4,001 pounds-ideal for bringing along your favorite gear, whether it's work equipment or weekend toys.
Confidence comes standard thanks to BMW's renowned xDrive all-wheel drive system. Continuously monitoring road conditions, xDrive distributes power intelligently to maximize traction in rain, snow, or even when the journey takes you off the beaten path. For those who want an even more dynamic driving experience, the available Adaptive M Suspension fine-tunes damping in real time, striking the perfect balance between comfort and control.
And when you're ready for a more spirited drive, simply activate SPORT mode through the MyModes selector to sharpen throttle response and enhance the X3's athletic character.

Your favorite colors are back, including Alpine White, Dune Grey, and Vegas Red metallic. Choose from wheels ranging from 19 inches to 21 inches with plenty of style options to personalize your ride. The larger wheels fill out those wheel wells perfectly while maintaining excellent ride quality.

Another update lets you change the assistant's voice to a new BMW voice or even Alexa if you have an Amazon account. Just say "Hey BMW" or "Alexa" to control everything hands-free. Other goodies include wireless phone charging, multiple USB-C ports, and a premium Harman Kardon sound system.
