BMW X5 Fuel Consumption (MPG & km/L)

The X5 was a significant turning point in the history of BMW. With the launch of the X5 in 2000 the German car manufacturer entered the SUV market.

When the BMW X5 was first launched competing models like the Volkswagen Touareg were well established in this lucrative sector, however they were largely still being judged based on their off-road capabilities. In the early 2000’s the way SUVs were measured changed. Customers started seeing the other benefits SUVs could offer like a high seat position, increased driving safety and even things like the 'status' of a big luxury SUV all started to play a part in drivers decisions. These days only the X1 sells more units than the X5 in BMW's range.

BMW X5 Fuel Efficiency Figures

The fuel consumption of the BMW X5 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 X5 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 X5 in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

More About BMW X5

BMW X5 Fuel Consumption

In 2010 the X5's facelift brought new and exciting innovations for the model. This included an reduction in the average fuel consumption across the range of almost 10%. The gearbox was upgraded from 6-speed to a new 8-speed automatic transmission and additional top-of-the-range systems like lane departure warning and adaptive cruise were introduced.

Under the hood the new X5 M Version came with a powerful V8, giving drivers 407bhp of pure power to play with. Even in the X1 40d six cylinder model you will get a huge 306bhp and 600 Nm. But it wasn’t just the mechanics that got a refresh, the new X5 was more aerodynamic, the interior trim was upgraded to be more luxurious and spacious.
