Among the 11 saloons plug-in hybrid, the 320e xDrive Touring combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (last in segment), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the 320e xDrive Touring through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

saloon plug-in hybrid among the best in segment: 4th of 10 in Combined range (754 km).

Less suitable for

Regular long motorway trips. Beyond the 46 km EV range, the car runs on pure combustion. On trips >300 km weekly, a BEV or HEV would be more relevant.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Skoda Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 (1st with 70 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the BMW 320e (1st with 777 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 46 km pure electric (last in segment)

With a full battery, the 320e xDrive Touring drives in pure electric mode for the first 46 km WLTP - placing it 10th of 10 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Skoda Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 (70 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the 320e xDrive Touring behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.

BMW 320e xDrive Touring: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the 320e xDrive Touring rank in its segment?

Among the 11 saloons plug-in hybrid 2019–2023, the 320e xDrive Touring ranks 10th of 10 in Electric WLTP range (46 km, behind the Skoda Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245), 4th of 10 in Combined range (754 km, behind the BMW 320e), 5th of 11 in Thermal cons. estimated (5.7 L/100, behind the Citroen C5 X Hybrid 225), 11th of 11 in 0–100 km/h (8.2 s, behind the Volvo S60 T8 AWD Recharge).

What is the électrique range of the 320e xDrive Touring?

46 km WLTP announced - making it the 10th of 10 in Electric WLTP range out of 10 models. The reference is the Skoda Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 (70 km).

How much does the 320e xDrive Touring cost to run?

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

Why not a Skoda Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 instead?

The Skoda Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 leads in Electric WLTP range (70 km vs 46 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 320e xDrive Touring vs Skoda Octavia iV 1.4 TSI e-TEC PHEV 245 duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

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.
