What is the actual fuel consumption of the BMW 5 Series 525li?
1 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of the BMW 5 Series 525li is 8.0-10.9L/100km. The currently available BMW 5 Series 525li models include the 2022 Luxury Package and M Sport Package, both with an official NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km. In the same class, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.7-10.4L/100km, the Cadillac CT6 7.1L/100km, the Volvo S90 6.7L/100km, the Lincoln Continental 8.5-8.7L/100km, and the Volkswagen Phideon 6.8-7.1L/100km. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights will increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger engines typically produce more power and require more gasoline to combust and perform work. Heavier vehicles also have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to combust, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at lower temperatures, the engine control unit may command higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
