BMW X5 Mileage
₹96.90 Lakh to ₹112.00 Lakhex-showroom
Both X5 engines share a 12 kmpl ARAI rating. The petrol xDrive40i and the diesel xDrive30d carry the same figure. In real driving the diesel usually stretches further, helped by its torque and larger reserves. A big, heavy SUV like this will read below 12 kmpl in the city. See which trim runs which engine.

BMW X5 mileage: common questions
What mileage does the X5 return?
Both the petrol and diesel are rated at 12 kmpl by ARAI. City use will bring the real figure lower for either engine.
Do the petrol and diesel X5 differ in economy?
On paper both read 12 kmpl. In practice the diesel tends to go further between fills, thanks to its torque and driving character.
Is the X5 thirsty?
For its size, the 12 kmpl rating is about par. A large six cylinder SUV with an 80 litre tank is not built for low fuel bills.
