Among the 9 grand tourers plug-in hybrid, the 545e xDrive combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use, a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the 545e xDrive through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.
Tailored to this vehicle?
Demanding drivers: 2nd of 9 in 0–100 km/h (4.6 s). Electric WLTP range (49 km), 2nd of 9 in 0–100 km/h (4.6 s).
Very long trips without stopping. With 745 km combined range, expect more frequent refuelling than other PHEVs in the segment.
If the priority is Combined range, the BMW 540d xDrive (1st with 1269 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Thermal cons. estimated, the BMW 545e xDrive (1st with 6.3 L/100) takes the lead.
In the city: 49 km pure electric
With a full battery, the 545e xDrive drives in pure electric mode for the first 49 km WLTP - placing it Electric WLTP range, behind the BMW 545e xDrive (49 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the 545e xDrive behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.

BMW 545e xDrive: 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 545e xDrive rank in its segment?
Among the 9 grand tourers plug-in hybrid 2018–2022, the 545e xDrive ranks Electric WLTP range (49 km, behind the BMW 545e xDrive), 9th of 9 in Combined range (745 km, behind the BMW 540d xDrive), Thermal cons. estimated (6.6 L/100, behind the BMW 545e xDrive), 2nd of 9 in 0–100 km/h (4.6 s, behind the BMW 540d xDrive).
What is the électrique range of the 545e xDrive?
49 km WLTP announced - making it the Electric WLTP range out of 2 models. The reference is the BMW 545e xDrive (49 km).
How much does the 545e xDrive cost to run?
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
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.
