The 2026 BMW X3 enters the second year of its fourth generation, carrying forward the ground-up redesign introduced last year. This compact luxury SUV pairs a wider, more modern stance with standard BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive on every trim — confident, all-weather traction for drivers across Riverside, Corona, and the wider Inland Empire. Browse the current 2026 X3 inventory below, and contact our team to schedule a visit.
The redesigned interior centers on the BMW Curved Display, which merges a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen under a single pane of glass. It runs iDrive 9 with over-the-air updates and in-car streaming apps for when the vehicle is parked. A minimalist layout and new interaction bar replace most physical controls. Standard inside: Veganza synthetic leather upholstery and power-adjustable, heated front seats, with an available panoramic moonroof. The five-passenger cabin offers roughly 32 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, expanding to about 67 cubic feet with the rear seats folded — practical room for families across Moreno Valley and the surrounding area.
The 2026 X3 lineup is two trims, each built around a different engine. Both come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission and BMW xDrive all-wheel drive. The 30 xDrive’s mild-hybrid four-cylinder balances luxury and daily efficiency, while the M50 xDrive steps up to the inline-six with a manufacturer-estimated 0–60 mph time of 4.4 seconds and M-tuned suspension and steering.

Both trims run on premium unleaded, and the 48-volt mild-hybrid system smooths the stop-start function while recovering energy under deceleration.
