What's New with the BMW X3 for 2026?
As the 2025 BMW X3 was a complete overhaul - including a new platform, new engine options, and completely updated designs inside and out - the newest model gets no significant changes for the new model year. The 2026 X3 is the SUV you know and love, with recent updates like:
- Starting with the exterior design, a new set of body panels reduces aerodynamic drag despite the larger overall footprint. A new front grille uses both vertical and diagonal slits to improve efficiency and engine cooling, both of which are important for the performance of turbocharged engines.
- Inside, the updated iDrive 9 infotainment system offers smartphone-style customization, allowing you to drag icons around the homepage so the things you want are always easy to find. And with improved fidelity and AI in the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, voice-activated features are now more intuitive than ever.
- Finally, mild-hybrid tech adds to both the 2.0-liter four-cylinder and 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine options making for more overall horsepower while maintaining efficiency, especially around town.

Exterior Design
The exterior of the 2026 BMW X3 features smooth, sweeping body panels as opposed to the sharp creases and lines of the previous model. The new look isn't just fitting for BMW's new design ethos - it also improves aerodynamic efficiency for better fuel economy and performance. In addition, new LED head and tailights provide a new lighting signature for this generation of X3. And thanks to a striking new grille that incorporates both vertical and diagonal slats, there will be no confusing this X3 for any that has come before it.
Black and silver cladding on the lower bumpers and side skirts provides your 2026 BMW X3 with protection against road hazards like rocks, as well as off-road hazards like rutted roads and overgrown bushes. Plus, they act as a stunning contrast to lighter paint options, helping your BMW X3 stand out from the pack.
Interior Design
The interior of the 2026 BMW X3 is just as striking as the exterior, with colorful trim pieces on the doors, dash, and center console that change with the ambient interior lighting settings. Meanwhile, brushed gold trim provides a steady highlight on the steering wheel and center stack.
Even better, the 2026 BMW X3 is standard with heated and ventilated seats for a truly high-class comfort experience on your next Denver drive. Whether it's mid-winter or mid-summer, the three-zone automatic climate control system ensures both you and your passengers are comfortable. Look up, and the sliding panoramic moonroof offers a stunning view of the sky and a breath of fresh air at the touch of a button.
Performance
At first glance, the latest BMW X3 offers the same engine lineup as previous generations, but a closer look reveals some major changes to how the X3 gets its power to the ground starting in 2025 and extending into 2026. Sure, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo and 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo still make up the lineup, but both get mild-hybrid technology to improve efficiency and overall output. The result is a choice between 255 and 393 horsepower, both of which are more efficient than the 2024 model.
That's a considerable upgrade over the 228-hp four-cylinder and the 382-hp six-cylinder from the old generation of BMW X3. What's more, the mild-hybrid technology helps with low-speed cruising and acceleration, improving fuel efficiency and throttle response for your city drives. It also makes up for the turbo lag at higher speeds, so you'll be able to make quick highway passes on command.
Technology
The iDrive9 infotainment system finally makes its way into the BMW X3 for 2026, and it's a big improvement over the already-great iDrive 8.5 in the previous generation model. Not only do you get improved voice commands, but you can control the screen via central dial or touch, giving you options while you're behind the wheel. Even better, you can completely customize the homescreen by dragging the icons, so your favorite and most-used functions will always be close at hand. In addition, an optional head-up display and BMW Digital Premium add even more tech to your Denver drives.
Safety
The standard safety kit in the 2026 BMW X3 includes automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning with pedestrian detection to help keep you safe on your next visit to Mile High Stadium. And with optional adaptive cruise control you can enjoy a more relaxed ride the next time you're on I-25. What's more, new features like front and rear parking sensors help you avoid fender benders in tight spots like parking garages and the dreaded Trader Joe's parking lot. Plus, a surround-view camera can help you spot hazards your mirrors may not catch.
