This is the actual consumption of the BMW X5 (xDrive50e)

Autovisie not only tests electric cars for their range and consumption, we also measure what they consume in practice compared to gasoline and hybrid cars. This time we’re testing how economical the latest BMW X5 is.

The difference between the manufacturer’s information and the actual consumption is large for some cars. For this reason, Autovisie tests the actual average consumption in practice with the air conditioning and radio on. This will give you a better idea of ​​how economical the car really is.

The BMW X5 xDrive50e

The most recent model that we were able to get our hands on was the BMW X5 “Life Cycle Impulse”, which is of course also available with an improved plug-in hybrid drive. With an updated design, more comfort (options) and BMW’s now familiar widescreen interior, the X5 should be well prepared for the second half of its life.

The plug-in hybrid drive and the ridiculous amount of BPM that comes with it make the xDrive50e the cheapest X5 variant by far. There’s a Launch Edition with some nice options for 96,512 euros until November, after which you’ll only get 144 euros in change for a Grand if you opt for a 50. The BMW

The actual consumption

After 80 kilometers you usually still have around 20 to 30 kilometers of electric range left in the BMW. The X5’s battery has a usable capacity of 25.7 kWh and power consumption is 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers lower than the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

With smaller wheels, the stated 110 kilometers would probably have been possible. Even though the BMW uses a three-liter in-line six-cylinder turbo engine after the battery is empty, the consumption of this power source was significantly lower than that of the two-liter engine in the Jeep.
