What Cars have a ~1000km Range these days?

Ford F150.

Ram 1500 with the 121L tank

[Tik-Tok]

Just buy whatever you want and install a fuel cell in the hatch/trunk. Otherwise you're looking at a truck. Have fun with that in Vancouver.

My '17 f150 says 1200km to empty but pulls in around 1100.

I've been road tripping from Calgary to Cali in my F30 328i... forgot just how efficient that 2L 4cyl BMW engine was! Especially having spent the last half year daily driving a Macan GTS that is 4000+lbs and gets around 7km/L in the city.

I've been getting between 13-14km/L on a 60L tank with a lead foot and averaging around 130km, 800+km on a car that is decently fun to drive is a win in my books. Not quite 1000km+, but I think if you were to hypermile it (draft behind 18-wheelers the entire time, keep it around 100km)... I think you could get pretty damn close!

Km/L is a pretty nonstandard measurement.

Hahaha I was thinking the same thing. Took me a while to notice that, I was like it doesn’t take a mathematician to instantly know 13L/100km on a 60L tank won’t get you 800km, then I realized haha

Edit: I used to think L/100km didn’t make sense until I planned a trip once and it made it so easy to figure out cost

[Maxt]

Anything with a 5.9 cummins in reasonable condition.

[max_boost]

Highway? Mix? And at what price? lol

$50 regular, 40L tank, VW golf, mix driving 500kms, pretty sure highway only would push that to 800kms+

i was so confused! especially since the 330xi gets about 7L/100km, no way the smaller engine is THAT much better

My E400 wagon does over 1000km on the highway. Sure is nice getting to family in BC on a single tank.

2018’s are fitted with an 80L tank, prior to that, 66L. It’s rated at 9.5L/100km but I’m always hitting 7.8L. Already have 6000km of road trips on her.

Larger tank is a $100 option out in Europe. Optioned on a E220 4 cylinder diesel it goes over 2000kms on a tank haha.

In Canada and US, not an option, no clue why they threw it in for 2018 and only in the wagon.

Quick peek at 2019 specs, all the sedans and wagons gets the 80L tank. My incoming E coupe only gets the 66L.

I’m overseas right now and the VW Golf rental we have is on track to do 600 Miles this tank. It’s not even a diesel either, 1.4L TDi has with a six speed. Probably the best rental car I’ve ever had.

[Tarrantula]

2008 Audi A6 4.2L will go 1000km on a tank. It can also go 300km a tank. Ive been on both ends of those numbers.

That would be pretty freaking sweet... you could pretty much drive to BC and back without ever paying BC gas prices, haha

It's not just a gas price thing. Up in the boonies of BC, the fuel quality is terrible. We're by 100 mile house pretty regularly, and the gas there ALWAYS triggers a CEL on my cars for misfires. The ability to fill up in Kamloops and not have to refill for a couple weeks till we're back makes it worthwhile.

The only thing to keep in mind is KM/tank is such an arbitrary figure. Range is also not synonymous with fuel economy. It also is largely dependent on how you drive and how fast you drive. Many vehicles with a massive tank or dual tanks can easily hit 1000km. Trucks that have two switchable tanks come to mind.

Golf TDI's will do 1000-1100km to a pretty cheap tank. I drove 1,800+ km to Colorado in one and that's what we got on all the flat USA freeways. Most economy cars will do around 800-900km/tank with easy highway driving (45-50L tank, 5.5L/100km or so).

Maybe a different question is do you want to do 1000KM/tank for $50 or $150 lol.

This. My F150 made it to Sicamous and back with some light driving around the area with about 100 or so kms till empty this weekend. It is a 136L tank.
