Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Good compromise for regular use without available charging infrastructure. 1st of 88 in Combined consumption (4.2 L/100), 1st of 77 in Tank range (1405 km).

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the BMW M3 Competition xDrive (1st with 3.5 s) takes the lead.

Fuel consumption: 4.2 L/100 L/100 (1st of 88 in Combined consumption)

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

Tank range: 1405 km (1st of 77 in Tank range)

On a full tank, the 420d covers 1405 km on the combined cycle. The segment reference reaches 1405 km.

BMW 420d: 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 420d rank in its segment?

Among the 88 saloons 2018–2022, the 420d ranks 1st of 88 in Combined consumption (4.2 L/100, behind the BMW 420d), 1st of 77 in Tank range (1405 km, behind the BMW 420d), 55th of 88 in 0–100 km/h (7.1 s, behind the BMW M3 Competition xDrive).

What is the range of the 420d?

1405 km on a full tank (4.2 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 1st of 77 in Tank range.

How much does the 420d cost to run?

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

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.
