Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Home-to-office commute up to 60 km in pure electric. Overnight charging is sufficient. 2nd of 18 in Electric WLTP range (101 km).

Less suitable for

Regular long motorway trips. Once the 101 km EV range is used up, the car runs on pure combustion at 7.2 L/100 - high for a PHEV in this class. On trips >300 km weekly, a BEV or HEV would be more efficient.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Audi A6 Sedan e-hybrid quattro S tronic 270 kW (1st with 101 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Mercedes AMG E 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ Limousine (1st with 1184 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 101 km pure electric (top 2 in segment)

With a full battery, the A6 Sedan e-hybrid quattro S tronic 220 kW drives in pure electric mode for the first 101 km WLTP - placing it 2nd of 18 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Audi A6 Sedan e-hybrid quattro S tronic 270 kW (101 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the A6 Sedan e-hybrid quattro S tronic 220 kW behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
