Among the 12 grand tourers plug-in hybrid, the 550e 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 550e xDrive Touring through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.
Caralogy Analysis
Tailored to this vehicle?
Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
Home-to-office commute up to 60 km in pure electric. Overnight charging is sufficient.
Less suitable for
Regular long motorway trips. Once the 82 km EV range is used up, the car runs on pure combustion at 8.5 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: 82 km pure electric (last in segment)
With a full battery, the 550e xDrive Touring drives in pure electric mode for the first 82 km WLTP - placing it 12th of 12 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 550e xDrive Touring behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
