Caralogy Verdict

Suitable for

Good compromise for regular use without available charging infrastructure. 18th of 74 in Tank range (1017 km).

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: 5.8 L/100 L/100 (30th of 84 in Combined consumption)

The 420i consumes 5.8 L/100 on the WLTP combined cycle. The segment reference is the Bmw 420d (4.2 L/100).

Tank range: 1017 km (18th of 74 in Tank range)

On a full tank, the 420i covers 1017 km on the combined cycle. The segment reference reaches 1405 km.

Frequently asked questions

BMW 420i: 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 420i rank in its segment?#

Among the 84 saloons 2018–2022, the 420i ranks 30th of 84 in Combined consumption (5.8 L/100, behind the Bmw 420d), 18th of 74 in Tank range (1017 km, behind the Bmw 420d), 63th of 84 in 0–100 km/h (7.5 s, behind the BMW M3 Competition xDrive).

What is the range of the 420i?#

1017 km on a full tank (5.8 L/100 on the combined cycle) — 18th of 74 in autonomie du segment.

How much does the 420i 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 5.8 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 420i 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.
