BMW X1: real-world fuel consumption
Fuel meter readings from 125,367 BMW X1 cars reported in 2024, split by engine.
Excluding plug-in hybrids, the average is 6.4 L/100 km on the road against 5.5 officially (17% above official).
Lowest real-world consumption: Diesel · 100 kW (136 hp) at 5.8 L/100 km.

Engines with fewer than 100 cars in the data are not shown. Hybrid includes mild hybrids (48 V) as registered by the manufacturer.
Plug-in hybrid
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Electric share | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid · 100 kW (136 hp) | 15,525 | 1.1 | 5.3 | 32% | +370% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 92 kW (125 hp) | 12,682 | 1.8 | 6.0 | 28% | +227% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 110 kW (150 hp) | 6,592 | 1.1 | 5.2 | 35% | +384% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 130 kW (177 hp) | 217 | 0.8 | 4.5 | 38% | +449% |
The official WLTP figure for plug-in hybrids assumes a share of electric driving based on range. When cars are charged less often than assumed, real consumption is far higher.
By reporting year
| cars | Real world | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2,460 | 6.5 |
| 2022 | 17,953 | 6.5 |
| 2023 | 40,790 | 6.5 |
