However, BMW can only recommend authorised BMW dealers, as it has control of the equipment, spare parts and training standards of those dealers.

UK specifications — not the Australian certification
This model has not been certified for sale in Australia yet, so there is no ADR fuel label and no Green Vehicle Guide record for it. The figures below are the manufacturer's own WLTP numbers, published here so you can size the car up early. Expect the Australian figures to differ. Local pricing, warranty and any ANCAP rating are unknown and deliberately left blank rather than estimated.
Overview
The 2026 BMW X3 20 xDrive is a five-seat petrol SUV with all-wheel drive and an automatic, making 140kW and 310Nm. It's priced from $86,100 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs like rego and stamp duty. BMW quotes fuel use of 7.5L/100km combined, the boot holds 570 litres with the seats up and 1,700 litres folded, and it can tow 2,400kg braked. The claimed 0-100km/h time is 8.5 seconds, so it's more about steady everyday driving than quick getaways. It suits a family or couple wanting a practical AWD wagon-style SUV that can handle a decent trailer or small caravan.

The 2026 BMW X3 20 xDrive is a five-seat petrol SUV with all-wheel drive and an automatic, making 140kW and 310Nm. It's priced from $86,100 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs like rego and stamp duty. BMW quotes fuel use of 7.5L/100km combined, the boot holds 570 litres with the seats up and 1,700 litres folded, and it can tow 2,400kg braked. The claimed 0-100km/h time is 8.5 seconds, so it's more about steady everyday driving than quick getaways. It suits a family or couple wanting a practical AWD wagon-style SUV that can handle a decent trailer or small caravan.

The 2026 BMW X3 30e xDrive is a five-seat plug-in hybrid SUV with all-wheel drive, priced at $106,300 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. It claims 91km of electric-only range from a 19.7kWh battery, and official combined fuel use is 1.6L/100km, a test that starts with a charged battery. Once the battery is flat it runs as a hybrid and uses 7.9L/100km, so the savings depend on plugging in regularly. Boot space is 460 litres with the seats up and 1,600 litres folded, and it can tow 2,000kg braked. It suits someone with a short daily commute and somewhere to charge at home who still wants a family-sized wagon for longer trips.
