BMW X3 MPG

The BMW X3 is a luxury SUV that offers two gas engine options and a plug-in hybrid engine option. We know that different drivers travel different routes, so they will want to select the right engine that fits their mileage needs. Having this choice will allow you to select the one that works best with your lifestyle.

Our team at BMW of Jackson wanted to see what the BMW X3 MPG numbers were, so we put this article together. Drivers in Jackson, Clinton, Ridgeland, and Madison, Mississippi, who would like to know more about this model’s mileage and range can check it out below.

As mentioned above, there are two gas engine options to select from. The standard one is a 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine that comes paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It can produce up to 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive is standard; however, you can upgrade to all-wheel drive.

Each drivetrain produces its own fuel economy rating:

2.0-liter engine rear-wheel drive: EPA-estimated 25 city/29 highway MPG1

2.0-liter engine all-wheel drive: EPA-estimated 23 city/29 highway MPG1

The available 3.0-liter turbo 6-cylinder engine also comes paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and produces more power. It can deliver up to 382 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. It already comes standard with all-wheel drive and will get you the following fuel rating:

3.0-liter engine all-wheel drive: EPA-estimated 21 city/27 highway MPG1

These engine and drivetrain combinations all manage to produce decent mileage figures. Each engine also features Auto Start-Stop so that said fuel economy can be increased even further.

The plug-in hybrid engine is also impressive. It can deliver up to an EPA-estimated range of 340 miles along with an exclusive electric range of 17 miles.1

This model features the same 2.0-liter engine from above; however, it also comes with an electric motor. That motor produces extra power, so now the engine can deliver up to 288 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. It also comes standard with all-wheel drive.

The innovation that comes with a hybrid engine is mirrored by the technology that comes with it. For example, your instrument cluster will keep you updated on such metrics as your driving range and the charge status.

You can also access this information by downloading the BMW Connected app. By simply using your phone, you will be able to know all about the engine and can even set the best charging times for you.

There are a few different ways you can work towards improving your vehicle’s fuel economy. One such way is by using cruise control. Each BMW X3 comes standard with Dynamic Cruise Control, so you can consider using that as you travel on the highway for longer road trips.

Cruise control allows you to drive at a more even pace, without the need for quick acceleration and braking. Even when not in cruise control mode, you want to try to mimic that same sort of style while driving on other roads.

If you opt for the plug-in hybrid engine, there are also a few things you can do to further save on fuel. One obvious way is by keeping the battery charged, which you can monitor through your instrument cluster and smartphone app.

Vehicles equipped with an economy mode will also experience greater fuel economy. You can find the ECO PRO driving mode on any BMW X3 with all-wheel drive. The plug-in hybrid goes on to feature a few electric-specific driving modes, like Auto eDrive and Battery Control.

Drivers who expect great mileage will find it here in the BMW X3. Those in Jackson, Clinton, Ridgeland, and Madison, MS, will surely appreciate the chance to choose between either the gas or the hybrid engine, knowing that each one offers sufficient fuel economy so that they can travel wherever they need to.
