How many kilometers can a BMW X3 drive on a full tank of fuel?

When the BMW X3's fuel tank is full, it generally indicates a driving range of around 600 to 700 kilometers. The BMW X3 is a mid-size SUV under the BMW brand. The main models include the 2021 xDrive25i M Sport Package, 2021 xDrive28i M Sport Package, 2021 xDrive30i Leading M Sport Package, and 2021 xDrive25i Luxury Package. The 2021 BMW X3 xDrive25i M Sport Package has a fuel tank capacity of 65L. Based on an average fuel consumption of 10.01L/100km, the driving range on a full tank is calculated as 65 ÷ 10.01 × 100 = 649 kilometers. Similarly, the 2021 BMW X3 xDrive28i M Sport Package can drive 670 kilometers on a full tank, the 2021 BMW X3 xDrive30i Leading M Sport Package can drive 657 kilometers, and the 2021 BMW X3 xDrive25i Luxury Package can drive 631 kilometers. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during a cold start, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've been driving a BMW X3 for three years now, using it for both city commuting and weekend road trips. With a fuel tank capacity of around 65 liters, a full tank gives me a range of approximately 600 to 650 kilometers in city traffic jams, while on the highway at 100 km/h, it can reach 750 or even 800 kilometers. Driving habits make a big difference—sudden acceleration and frequent braking can cause fuel consumption to skyrocket, reducing the range by 10-20%; maintaining a steady speed and avoiding peak hours can significantly extend the range. I usually monitor fuel consumption through the car's onboard system, averaging 11 liters per 100 kilometers. Before long trips, I check tire pressure and engine oil—these small habits help me save a lot on fuel costs. Regular maintenance is also crucial, as the engine's condition affects fuel consumption. I recommend keeping a simple mileage log after each full tank.
