Hi All,

Could you please tell me the fuel consumption of X6M in UK roads in a comfort driving mode?

Cheers,
Simon J

Hi
In my 2017 model year X6M. I average 20 mpg. I tend to have the exhaust in sport plus mode most of the time. All other settings in comfort.

On a long run I have averaged 25/26 mpg.

Hope this helps...

You must drive only highway and not fast...

I have a 2017 and I average 12 with 50/50 city/highway. On a highway trip, 16 is normal

aparedes · 04-03-2019, 10:53 PM

10-12 mpg in city/highway.

Highway long distance maybe around 15-16mpg

+1 but if this was a close friend asking my opinion I would say if you want to drive in comfort mode and are even slightly worried about gas this is not the car for you

How is that even possible, comfort or not? Granted, I'm getting better fuel consumption on my '19 for mixed hwy/city - I'm at 14.1 mpg. I have never seen those numbers on any of my X6Ms. My norm has been 12.5-13.5 mpg. The best I ever got was 18 mpg for a 650 mile road trip. I'm sport plus for all settings.

Nuckle · 04-04-2019, 07:38 AM

The best I have ever seen is 16mpg on a 4 hour beach trip.

Skyracer · 04-04-2019, 08:24 AM

2018 X5M lifetime average to date 14.9 L/100 km = 15.8 US mpg = 19 Imp mpg

Used mainly as commuting vehicle on backroads and highways, very little street/city driving.

Are you sure you have the F86

I only got 14.x mpg in normal drive in the city. 10.x if i go nuts with the F85, I can't even get 19 on full hwy.

Even if it’s not the M, I don’t get it. My consumption in 8 cylinder X5s and X6s going back to 2001 never exceeded 13.5 mpg mixed hwy/city.

Just for everyone to note, Poster is from UK so 20 MPG UK is 16.65 US MPG.

MPG = mile per gallon

Gallon in UK and US are different in volume

Conversion base : 1 US mpg = 1.2009499255398 UK mpg

It's the reason JohnG123 says he averages 20 mpg and everyone else is much lower.

JohnG123 · 04-06-2019, 04:42 PM

Guess I am doing ok then now you compare it to US gallons......

rajindergill · 04-07-2019, 01:55 PM

Just bought the X5M and I live in the UK, so work with imperial gallons. Stuck in daily traffic doing a school run and then going to work in rush hour, I'm playing a new game with myself - can I get 14 mpg or better. At the moment I'm slightly losing but I'm glad it has start/stop.

For one it saves a bit of fuel. Secondly, I like the sound when it starts up again. But I switch it off after a while as I don't want to wreck the starter motor.

tastelid · 04-07-2019, 07:11 PM

maybe 22mpg if im driving long distance interstate. that could be at 75mph even.

but city driving is 15mpg or less.

Not possible. Sorry. Plan on 12-15. Maybe a whiff of 20 on highway. Or get a diesel if that number is important.

JohnG123 · 04-11-2019, 02:35 PM

Camera doesn’t lie my average 20.2 UK miles to a UK imperial gallon of 98 Ron fuel.

DgjoX6M2016 · 04-16-2019, 05:05 AM

Here are my numbers. I shoot for 10MPG in city.

. Highway is rather impressive. Cruising about 80 for that 21mpg figure.

aas5 · 04-16-2019, 07:39 AM

I average 12 mpg in the city and 19-20 mpg on highway.

DgjoX6M2016 · 04-16-2019, 05:54 PM

Exactly. 21 average is not happening as someone else posted. KPG maybe.
