In the end, the G11 Seven drove 1,026 miles without refueling, which equates to 1,652 kilometers and consumed a total of 72 liters of fuel. The average consumption was 4.4 liters per 100 kilometers. The car was driven in Eco Pro mode and used Michelin e-Primacy tires for economy. By the way, there were still 7 liters of diesel in the tank, which would have covered 1100 miles, but they did not want to completely empty the tank, because it would not be very good for the technology.

The G11 730d Individually, its 265-horsepower 6-cylinder engine produces 620 Nm of torque. The robot parking function was the first of its kind in the world.
