BMW X4 Fuel Consumption (MPG & km/L)

Despite the X4's size as a large SUV, fuel expenses should be reasonable if you purchase a diesel and don't abuse the vehicle. But the more powerful M models won't achieve the same level of fuel efficiency.

Diesel BMW X4 running costs

Select the xDrive 20d, the most fuel-efficient available powertrain, as your first vehicle. On the combined cycle, the 2.0-litre diesel engine is claimed to achieve up to 52.3 mpg of fuel efficiency. A light right foot should be able to accomplish this without too much trouble.

BMW X4 Fuel Consumption

Next up is the BMW-stated xDrive 30d, which can achieve up to 47.9 mpg. The M40d, the top of the diesel X4 lineup, can achieve up to 44.1 mpg, but if you spend most of your time maximising the available performance, you may not notice this number.

Petrol BMW X4 running costs

With 31.4 mpg of fuel economy, the X4 M40i is the second least fuel-efficient engine in the lineup. Even more powerful petrol engines, with economy in the 20s, are found in X4 M models.

BMW X4 Fuel Efficiency Figures

The fuel consumption of the BMW X4 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 X4 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 X4 in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

How To Calculate Real Fuel Consumption Of Your BMW X4

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your BMW X4 is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:

(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
