Data: EPA and DOE fuel economy ratings, as ingested August 17, 2026
Fuel economy, configuration by configuration
4 of the 4 configurations carry an EPA rating. City, highway and combined are the agency's own test figures, and the annual fuel cost is its own estimate at its own assumed mileage and fuel price.
| Configuration | Fuel | City | Highway | Combined | Annual fuel cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.0L, 6-cyl, Automatic (S8), All-Wheel Drive | Diesel | 24 | 31 | 27 | $2,950 |
| 3.0L, 6-cyl, Automatic (S8), Rear-Wheel Drive | Premium Gasoline | 19 | 27 | 22 | $3,450 |
| 3.0L, 6-cyl, Automatic (S8), All-Wheel Drive | Premium Gasoline | 18 | 26 | 21 | $3,600 |
| 4.4L, 8-cyl, Automatic (S8), All-Wheel Drive | Premium Gasoline | 15 | 22 | 17 | $4,450 |
What is under each of them.
Engine, drive and transmission as EPA recorded them. A blank is a field the agency did not populate, which on an electric car is most of this table.
| Configuration | EPA class | Engine | Drive | Transmission |

| 3.0L, 6-cyl, Automatic (S8), All-Wheel Drive | Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD | 3L, 6-cyl, turbo, stop-start | All-Wheel Drive | Automatic (S8) |

Tailpipe CO2 and EPA's own scores
EPA scores fuel economy and greenhouse gas out of 10, where 10 is best. Tailpipe CO2 is grams per mile, and it is tailpipe only: it does not count the emissions of generating the electricity an electric car runs on, which is why every EV on this table reads zero.
| Configuration | CO2 g/mi | GHG score | Fuel economy score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.0L, 6-cyl, Automatic (S8), All-Wheel Drive | 381 | 5 / 10 | 7 / 10 |
| 3.0L, 6-cyl, Automatic (S8), Rear-Wheel Drive | 412 | 5 / 10 | 5 / 10 |
| 3.0L, 6-cyl, Automatic (S8), All-Wheel Drive | 420 | 5 / 10 | 5 / 10 |
| 4.4L, 8-cyl, Automatic (S8), All-Wheel Drive | 516 | 4 / 10 | 4 / 10 |
Who works on X5s in Brooklyn?
We do, at 619 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218, family owned since 1977. Diagnostics first, then the work, and a flatbed if it will not start where it sits.
New York State DMV registration file, August 17, 2026 snapshot of the five New York City counties. Model names come from NHTSA's federal VIN decoder. A registration is a record in a state database, not a car on the road. How we counted. The borough is where the registrant receives mail rather than where the car is driven.
Fuel economy: EPA and DOE ratings published at FuelEconomy.gov, unaveraged, so each configuration is its own row. Recalls and complaints: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, the agency's own wording, as ingested August 17, 2026. Complaints are reports members of the public filed, not confirmed defects. The NYC registration study is the analysis these counts sit on top of.
