BMW X1 Fuel Consumption (MPG & km/L)

BMW X1 MPG, CO2 and running costs

You'll spend more for an X1 plug-in hybrid vehicle than a standard petrol or diesel model, but this is compensated by possible gains in overall efficiency and reduced emissions if you charge the battery on a regular basis. BMW claims that the combined economy figure for either PHEV model exceeds 300mpg, but company car drivers will be more interested in the 15-20g/km of CO2 produced at the tailpipe and the ability to travel up to 55 miles on battery power alone – all of which means a lower Benefit-in-Kind tax rate.

Is the Diesel a good option?

In an age of growing electrification, diesel-powered vehicles are more difficult to justify, yet the X1 diesels deliver excellent stats on their own. On the WLTP combined test, all variants get 53 to 57mpg, with CO2 emissions ranging from 129 to 140g/km. Don't be thrown off by the higher-powered xDrive23d model; owing to mild-hybrid technology, it's actually more efficient than the sDrive18d.

BMW X1 Fuel Consumption

Private customers should look at one of the pure-petrol variants since they are the most affordable way to purchase an X1 while still achieving up to 47mpg.

BMW X1 Miles per pound (mpp)

• 5.0 - 7.0 mpp for petrol engines
• 6.7 to 7.5 mpp for Diesel engines
• 6.4 - 6.9 mpp* for plug-in hybrid petrol engines

* Fuel efficiency of the engine when operating without the help of the electric motor and battery.

BMW X1 Fuel Efficiency Figures

The fuel consumption of the BMW X1 is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular BMW X1 variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a BMW X1 in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.
