MPG and Fuel Efficiency Advice
So, you're eyeing the sleek BMW X1, but the fuel dilemma has got you scratching your head. Fear not, we're here to break it down with a dash of fun and a sprinkle of facts.
Since then the new X1 compact crossover was launched in 2015, the model quickly asserted itself a household name and is now commonly seen driving around towns and cities across the UK and Europe. The entry-level X series is now one of the most popular cars in the entire BMW range. The second generation X1 has a big part to play in this. the 2nd Generation first hit the forecourts at the end of 2015 is a lot better than the first generation.
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.
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.
• 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.
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.

After a few years, BMW began to work on the fuel efficiency of the X1. It started in 2011 when BMW replaced the six-cylinder petrol engine with a 2.0 litre four-cylinder turbo with 245bhp and start-stop technology. As time has gone on, more economical diesels have been added to the X1 range. Before 2012 the best option was the 16d with 116bhp and a consumption of 4.9 liters of diesel with CO2 emissions of 128 g/km. The 2012 facelift brought the entry-level along with a new X1 16d and a few other engine variants, including the top of the range 218bhp X1 25d diesel with a consumption of 5.5 litres and a top speed of 230 km/h.
