BMW 116: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the 116 rank in its segment?

Among the 31 compacts 2022–2026, the 116 ranks 17th of 29 in Combined consumption (6.4 L/100, behind the Audi A3 Sedan), 13th of 26 in Tank range (766 km, behind the Peugeot 308 PureTech 130 EAT8), 25th of 31 in 0–100 km/h (9.8 s, behind the Audi RS 3 Sportback).

What is the range of the 116?

766 km on a full tank (6.4 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 13th of 26 in Tank range.

How much does the 116 cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Audi A3 Sedan instead?

The Audi A3 Sedan leads in Combined consumption (4.7 L/100 vs 6.4 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 116 vs Audi A3 Sedan duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
