What is the actual fuel consumption of the BMW X4?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the BMW X4 is 8.1-8.2L/100km. Currently, there are 3 models of the BMW X4 on sale: the xDrive-30i M Sport Package, the xDrive-30i M Sport Night Package, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.2L/100km, and the xDrive-25i M Sport Package with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.1L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, at 8.0L/100km. The specific factors affecting a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars tend to consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine weighs around 1.2 tons and consumes approximately 7.5 liters of fuel (calculated under full load conditions), while an SUV weighing around 1.5 tons consumes about 8.5 liters. Different weights result in varying fuel consumption. Drag coefficient: Higher drag coefficients increase fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag coefficients, leading to lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: The engine has an optimal torque output point during driving. Maintaining the car's speed within this torque output point significantly reduces fuel consumption. Generally, small-displacement cars achieve this at around 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars reach it at about 100 km/h. Staying within this economical RPM range minimizes fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light can increase fuel consumption.
I've been driving a BMW X4 for a while now, and personally, I feel the actual fuel consumption really depends on driving style. In urban areas with frequent traffic lights and congestion, the fuel consumption can reach around 11 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite high. But on the highway with smooth driving, it can drop to 7 to 8 liters, saving quite a bit. If you drive steadily and avoid sudden acceleration, you can save a little more fuel. This is a sporty SUV after all, and it's really fun to drive, but higher fuel consumption is the norm compared to regular family cars. My monthly fuel expenses are around a thousand yuan, especially now that fuel prices have risen. If you want to save fuel, I recommend using 95-octane gasoline from reputable gas stations and regularly maintaining the air filter and tire pressure, which can optimize fuel efficiency slightly. Overall, the BMW X4 averages around 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers—not the most fuel-efficient car, but it's a blast to drive.
