A woman driving her black BMW X3 stopped on the Finchampstead Road and quickly got out of the car when she saw smoke billowing out the back of the vehicle.
The fire crew from Wokingham Station were called at around 2.30pm this afternoon to the scene just north of the junction with Sandhurst Road where they extinguished the blaze.
The car received moderate damage and firefighters believe the fire originated in the car's battery.
No one was injured but the road was temporarily reduced to one lane of traffic while fire crews worked.
The car was later recovered and firefighters gave the woman a lift back to her house after around half an hour.
