Hi All,

I'l like to know whether the fuel consumption is better when compared to X6M.

Cheers,

On a long highway trip from nj to Virginia I got 26.4.

I'm only 900mi in so am still trying to drive at a reasonable break in pace. I'm seeing an average of 26mpg (UK). 50/50 motorway and country road driving. Gets real dull when trying to keep the needle happy in Eco Pro mode.

Wife does 14.7 in day to day. I drove it last weekend on a road trip and was able to get 23.8.

I am at 15.5 mpg but I drive it hard always.

For a slight comparison, my GLE AMG 63S which is a direct competitor of a X6M, got about 12 mpg.

I haven't reset mine in several months, overall 13.4 - my shoes are heavy...

Myk-D · 05-09-2018, 10:55 AM

I'm averaging around 28mpg (UK), and I'm around 1,700 miles in. On a run I'm getting somewhere between 32 and 35.

In mixed city/highway driving to and from work I am getting 22.6mpg. That is me doing the actual math, not something on the display. I am using Eco mode for most of my commutes.

Here's a detailed thread containing quite a bit of data from other owners with various tires, wheel sizes, etc:

Just about the same (UK) mpg for me. Getting 1mpg less - but quite a bit of traffic.

TBH, I’m quite happy with it.

yllwwgn · 05-09-2018, 01:49 PM

I'm getting 21 but that's 80% freeway cruising and 20% around town, at which point my foot gets heavy.

I'm pretty happy too. The X3 is substantially better on petrol than my 2 litre Honda CRV. It's clearly witchcraft.

Oh, you have one of those too, huh? To be fair, my actual Mum isn’t much better.

j1980mac · 05-11-2018, 11:57 AM

I just got mine yesterday, put 100 miles on it, and I'm averaging 14 mpg.

That’s what I started with. It gets better!

I'm ok with it. I'm in and out of rev ranges frequently, and rev a bit during idle to help with break in.
