Caralogy Verdict

Suitable for

grand tourer plug-in hybrid among the best in segment: Electric WLTP range (49 km).

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Combined range, the Bmw 545e xDrive (1st with 775 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.

Frequently asked questions

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 3 grand tourers plug-in hybrid 2018–2022, the 545e xDrive ranks Electric WLTP range (49 km, behind the Bmw 545e xDrive), Combined range (745 km, behind the Bmw 545e xDrive), Thermal cons. estimated (6.6 L/100, behind the Bmw 545e xDrive), 0–100 km/h (4.6 s, behind the Bmw M5).

What is the électrique range of the 545e xDrive?#

49 km WLTP announced — making it the autonomie du segment 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.
