Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Good compromise for regular use without available charging infrastructure. 9th of 83 in Combined consumption (4.6 L/100).

Less suitable for

Some metrics lag behind the segment. Check the rankings above to identify weak points.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Combined consumption, the BMW 420d (1st with 4.2 L/100) takes the lead. If the priority is Tank range, the BMW 420d (1st with 1405 km) takes the lead.

Fuel consumption: 4.6 L/100 L/100 (9th of 83 in Combined consumption)

The 318d consumes 4.6 L/100 on the WLTP combined cycle. The segment reference is the BMW 420d (4.2 L/100).

Tank range: 870 km (44th of 75 in Tank range)

On a full tank, the 318d covers 870 km on the combined cycle. The segment reference reaches 1405 km.

BMW 318d: 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 rank in its segment?

Among the 83 saloons 2017–2021, the 318d ranks 9th of 83 in Combined consumption (4.6 L/100, behind the BMW 420d), 44th of 75 in Tank range (870 km, behind the BMW 420d), 81th of 83 in 0–100 km/h (8.4 s, behind the BMW M4 Competition).

What is the range of the 318d?

870 km on a full tank (4.6 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 44th of 75 in autonomie du segment.

How much does the 318d 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 420d instead?

The BMW 420d leads in Combined consumption (4.2 L/100 vs 4.6 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 318d vs BMW 420d 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.
