Caralogy Analysis · tailored to this vehicle

Caralogy Verdict

Suitable for

Optimised urban and peri-urban trips with no charging to manage. 1st of 51 in Combined consumption (4.3 L/100), 1st of 51 in Tank range (1535 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 0–100 km/h, the Bmw 540d xDrive (1st with 4.6 s) takes the lead.

Fuel consumption: 4.3 L/100 L/100 (1st of 51 in Combined consumption)

The 520d consumes 4.3 L/100 on the WLTP combined cycle. The segment reference is the Bmw 520d (4.3 L/100).

Tank range: 1535 km (1st of 51 in Tank range)

On a full tank, the 520d covers 1535 km on the combined cycle. The segment reference reaches 1535 km.

Frequently asked questions

BMW 520d: 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 520d rank in its segment?#

Among the 51 grand tourers hybrid 2019–2023, the 520d ranks 1st of 51 in Combined consumption (4.3 L/100, behind the Bmw 520d), 1st of 51 in Tank range (1535 km, behind the Bmw 520d), 38th of 51 in 0–100 km/h (7.2 s, behind the Bmw 540d xDrive).

What is the range of the 520d?#

1535 km on a full tank (4.3 L/100 on the combined cycle) — 1st of 51 in autonomie du segment.

How much does the 520d 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.
