BMW 530E XDRIVE TOURING: 100 KM FUEL CONSUMPTION (ECONOMY) TRIP: 2.9 L/100 KM, 81 MPG US | 97 MPG UK

EV Channels Review

This video presents a real-world fuel consumption test of the BMW 530e xDrive Touring, aiming to verify its claimed efficiency. Starting with a fully charged battery, the test simulates the WLTP homologation procedure over a 100 km trip. The reviewer achieved a fuel consumption of 2.9 l/100 km (81.1 mpg US) and a power consumption of 10.7 kWh/100 km. While the video doesn't explicitly state pros or cons beyond the consumption figures, it directly addresses the core question of whether the car's advertised economy is achievable in practice. The results suggest that the 530e Touring can indeed deliver impressive efficiency when driven under conditions similar to the WLTP cycle, particularly when leveraging its electric range.
