BMW X3 M40i 7.7Lt/100 touring with cruise control on and not in ECO mode … if you fill up at a servo on the highway, it will maintain under 7.5lt/100 for quite some time. It’s incredible that they can achieve that with something that’s capable of 285kw and 500Nw and a car and driver 0-60 miles per hour of 4.1 seconds - that B58 engine is incredible. The wife has one and we do a lot of touring in it and it’s been great for cruising, especially when you hit some twisty stuff, it’s very enjoyable. The driver ADAS is not too intrusive, but there’s a quick switch to switch it all off, but gee it’s expensive … looks like you get great value in the G70
Nice vehicle that, and definitely underrated. My experience of Hyundai/Kia products is that they don't give their best economy until they've got a good 10000km on the clock. It had less than 1000 when you left so I reckon it would probably do better once it's loosened up a little. Great way to get where you're going tho!
I would say that's not actually particularly good. Ten years ago when we had a NA ML350 Mercedes we would regularly get in the low to mid 7s for that trip. The diesel we replaced it with would knock 2 off that figure easily and more in winter without AC on
This only gains 5-7kW and 20Nm over the 3.3TT, it must be severly detuned from factory, also the performance is hindered by its 2 ton weight, most N/N Line cars can out perform this in most categories. I mean I may be comparing apples to oranges but if a mid 2015-2018 A45 AMG can pump out 280kW from its 2.0L 4cyl turbo I expected alot more from a 3.5L TT V6. But in saying that this car isn’t about full on performance and it’s priced fairly well at around the 60k mark for a used one and 80k mark for a new one, slap a European badge on this and you’ll be paying triple the amount.
Maybe compare oranges to oranges then. Mazda’s new 3.3 straight 6 only makes 254kw with hybrid assistance. You also need to remember that the GV70’s engine is shared across the Genesis line up so it’s specifically detuned to not outperform the larger GV80. The engine in the GV80 with mild hybrid produces 305kW and 550Nm. When you compare this to the B58 in the BMW X5 xDrive40i, that only has 245kW and 450Nm!!

It would be great to see all cars tested like this. I wish there was a dedicated channel where people test all cars highway fuel economy
Speed limit beeping can be turend off by holding the steering wheel mute button and lane keeping can be turned off by holding the lane button

For touring, Better off with the torque monster super efficient 3.0D, I don't see a point in the m40i.

Need more cars with 40/20/40 rear split… including this…

that screen is a step backwards compared to the previous model
I like the new screen. Looks super sleek and smooth than before but the prev system wasn’t bad
What’s to bet the next ‘upgrade’ will be removing the option to disable the safety systems…ide damn near make a bet on that
hope you had enough time to re-align your shakras in Byron mate!

Also which N-Line model outperforms this?
@@user-vk4vd7vr5ti bet you he is gonna say the Sonata N-line because those are no slouch for a not full N car
@@Zenithdraggy yep, exactly right, the Sonata N Line is an absolute weapon, plus the power to weight ratio would be in its favour.
Not a bad way to travel 800k
