BMW 225xe MPG & CO2 emissions

Official fuel economy is 166-188mpg, while CO2 emissions of 35-38g/km will appeal to company-car drivers due to low Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) liability. However, bear in mind that you're likely to see around 40mpg from the petrol engine when the battery becomes depleted. To help manage how your battery uses its power, there are several driving modes to choose from. Max eDrive concentrates on all-electric driving, while Auto eDrive allows the car to switch between its power sources automatically. Finally, the Save Battery mode will keep the battery charge until you want to use it.

Range & charging

If you have a fairly short commute, the 225xe’s official pure-electric driving range of 25 miles from its battery, should be enough to ensure that your daily journeys are emissions-free. The reality is that you'll see more like 20 miles, or even a little less in bad weather or if you use the electric running on the motorway.

The 225xe comes with a Type 2 charging cable that'll let you charge the car at home from a standard three-point socket in about four hours. You can also charge the car using a home wallbox, although that will only cut half an hour off the time, so it's debatable whether it's worth having a dedicated car charger installed if you're considering the 225xe.
