BMW 330e XDrive Hybrid - Real world fuel consumption in sport, hybrid and eco pro mode

[@rogerfleming3165]

This is the best review of the 330e driving modes I have seen on KZbin. Great shots of the dash and the use of battery power.

Tnx😀

This is the best review of the plug in hybrid driving modes I have seen on KZbin

I think you made a calculation mistake in HYBRID mode. You drove 33km whereby 10km were "pure electric". But board computer does not calculate fuel consumption if you drive elecric. so 1/3 of the trip you drove "for free" thanks to fuel battery charging mode. Therefore your real "weighted" fuel consumption is 2/3 of the value you claim. It's around 6-7L/100km and this is consistent with other data from YT and BMW.

[@PrintCloud]

It is all based on board computer, I did not take time to get more into details, but the conclusion was that hybrid mode in the city was not really low in consumption. Tnx for commenting, to be honest I am not car reviewer, I just found hybreid tech interesting, so I posted.

This is so informative and detailed. I've learned so much about the car through your video, thank you🙏

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vladmihai306]

so hybrid mode is pretty inefficient with battery empty. too bad

[@aawannaveed]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@PrintCloud]

You're welcome!

[@PerkyPro]

Thanks for the great video. Do you perhaps know the average consumption on a trip of 400 km in hybrid mode + navigation, starting with a full battery. And I'm interested in the following situation, for example: You leave home in hybrid mode, after 10 km in electric mode you need to overtake a truck, is the gasoline engine completely cold? Does the gasoline engine heat up while driving on electricity?

[@PrintCloud]

Sorry for my late reply, but to me the car was not very efficient once battery is empty. I would go for 6 cylinder or fully electric probably.

[@rayygun]

Great video, do you recommend Hybrid Eco Pro mode as the default driving mode ? Or would switching betrween Hybrid & Eco Pro be better depending on type of journey?

[@PrintCloud]

Thank you. 😀 For normal drive Eco Pro is just fine. Very relaxed and comfortable car in that mode. I am not car expert, this is exception on my channel😀

[@peytonwalker8050]

So does the combustion engine and the electric motor not work in combination?

[@PrintCloud]

They do, when you push the pedal for more power and for sure in extra boost in sport mode for maximum performance.

[@grgtech]

On part 3 (Eco mode) do you use adaptive cruise control?

[@PrintCloud]

No cruise control, but it uses radar to coast when no car in front or regenerative braking when car is in front or you get close to road crossing. You feel difference when remove your foot from the pedal.

[@thereturnfc]

Can you do eco pro but about 80-100km trip?

[@PrintCloud]

Probably max arround 60 km, easy driving.

[@AW-gj4ji]

@@PrintCloud would be interesting to see the l/km after 80-100km from hybrid mode (Battery charged)

[@sergiojippys3838]

@@AW-gj4ji around 6l/100km

[@sergiojippys3838]

@@PrintCloud in summer 60km higher temp, in winter €30 km

[@AW-gj4ji]

@@sergiojippys3838 Thanks thats very helpful. Would you also know the rate of recharging while driving?

[@thelews4]

which is better for efficiency, ecopro or all electric if you know you have enough charge to do all electric on your journey?

[@PrintCloud]

indeed not the best effiecency when in ecopro which is hybrid mode, this car is grerat for daily commute on electriy only and then weekend longer drivers with extra power to enjoy

[@g.t.7194]

Will get my new company car mid of January. I cannot await...

[@RS-B5ZV]

When did you order it? Just curious on the build times

@@RS-B5ZV Thank you, I hope so. Have also ordered the Sport version. Could actually be worse for a company car

[@vladmihai306]

How come he gets 10l/100km with empty batteries, whereas others get 6-7l?

[@PrintCloud]

Also strange to me, but it is what I got from the board computer. Indeed it should be more efficient

[@barrymills2620]

Do you regret buying the car now? For longer journeys you suggest getting a fuel or full ev

[@PrintCloud]

not bought the car, just tested, I think hybrid is double trouble. Got one EV and one diesel for now and happy with the options.

[@sergiojippys3838]

After 3 Months my average consumption is 3l/100km

[@PrintCloud]

👍 so you use eletric power a lot

[@sergevanderpoorten9054]

@@PrintCloud correct. My work at the store is only 5km from my home. So I use mostly the electric capacity. Twice a week I drive a distance on the highway-autostrade and that needs the petrol engine with an average consumption 10-12l/100km

[@PrintCloud]

I got same values, about 10 litres for highway

[@LESHEWIN]

Good review! What was the real world full battery range?

[@PrintCloud]

About 50km real world, eco pro mode

[@sohaibafzal7841]

Very presise comparison

[@glennquagmire6902]

*HELP!* Ive just taken delivery of of my g21 330e x drive… and I’ve noticed when the fuel tank is full, the max miles range is 250miles (including the fully charged battery) Maybe I’m been naive, but this seems very low? Any advice from 330e owners will be appreciated

[@PrintCloud]

I did not check the full tank range. After battery is empty you can expect about 10 liters per 100km, based on this fact you can estimate the real full range

[@rayygun]

it is low for me too, i;ve just recevied mine from a Jaguar wirth a much largewr tank and 600 mile diesel range, how are you getting on with it?

[@glennquagmire6902]

@@rayygun having lived with it since December, I can get up to 330 Miles if long journey.:: but average is 230 - 260 from full tank. It does have a small fuel tank 35ltr so kinda makes sense But the car is unbelievable

[@franciscolima1373]

Hello what the max range, driving without worry about the consumption??? I'm interested to buy or the 30e or the 30i my fear about the 30e is the low KMS range. Only 40l of capacity. In highways I normaly drive at 140km/h to 160km/h

[@PrintCloud]

Max EV range about 40-50 km, not highway, highway would be half

[@franciscolima1373]

@@PrintCloud sorry I think you don't understand me. My question is using petrol and electricity the two combined what's the max range of the 30e. 500km? more?
