Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Optimised urban and peri-urban trips with no charging to manage. 2nd of 14 in Combined consumption (4.1 L/100), 1st of 14 in Tank range (1439 km).

Less suitable for

Home charging access not leveraged. If you have a dedicated outlet, a PHEV would allow daily commutes in pure electric mode.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Combined consumption, the BMW 320d (1st with 4.1 L/100) takes the lead. If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the BMW M340i xDrive (1st with 4.4 s) takes the lead.

Fuel consumption: 4.1 L/100 L/100 (2nd of 14 in Combined consumption)

The 318d Steptronic consumes 4.1 L/100 on the WLTP combined cycle. The segment reference is the BMW 320d (4.1 L/100).

Tank range: 1439 km (1st of 14 in Tank range)

On a full tank, the 318d Steptronic covers 1439 km on the combined cycle. The segment reference reaches 1439 km.

BMW 318d Steptronic: 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 318d Steptronic rank in its segment?

Among the 14 saloons hybrid 2016–2020, the 318d Steptronic ranks 2nd of 14 in Combined consumption (4.1 L/100, behind the BMW 320d), 1st of 14 in Tank range (1439 km, behind the BMW 318d Steptronic), 14th of 14 in 0–100 km/h (9.2 s, behind the BMW M340i xDrive).

What is the range of the 318d Steptronic?

1439 km on a full tank (4.1 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 1st of 14 in Tank range.

How much does the 318d Steptronic 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 BMW 320d instead?

The BMW 320d leads in Combined consumption (4.1 L/100 vs 4.1 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 318d Steptronic vs BMW 320d 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.
