Caralogy Methodology
Motorway and performance values calibrated by the Caralogy physics simulation engine (SCx, Crr, real torque curves).
See full methodology →Manufacturer data · motorway values calibrated by the Caralogy engine
Among the 10 limousines plug-in hybrid, the 740e iPerformance combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (in the bottom third), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the 740e iPerformance through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
limousine plug-in hybrid among the best in segment: 3rd of 10 in Combined range (799 km), 3rd of 10 in Thermal cons. estimated (6.1 L/100).
Less suitable for
Regular long motorway trips. Beyond the 41 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 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid (1st with 50 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Bmw 745Le (1st with 809 km) takes the lead.
In the city: 41 km pure electric ( (in the bottom third))
With a full battery, the 740e iPerformance drives in pure electric mode for the first 41 km WLTP — placing it 9th of 10 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid (50 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the 740e iPerformance behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
