What significant changes did BMW make to the 2026 X3 for Canada?
The 2026 BMW X3 (G45) marks a full redesign after the long-running G01 generation. The revised CLAR platform reduces overall vehicle weight by 55 kg. The base engine is a 2.0L four-cylinder mild-hybrid 48V producing 255 hp (sDrive28i), replacing the previous 248 hp 2.0L unit. The X3 30e PHEV receives a 23.5 kWh battery for 80 km WLTP electric range. The iDrive 9 panoramic screen at 14.9 inches is standard from the xLine trim. BMW Canada introduces the X3 M50 for the first time — a high-performance 398 hp variant replacing the M40i in the Canadian lineup. Towing capacity reaches 2,400 kg on xDrive-equipped models with trailer hitch.
