Caralogy Analysis · tailored to this vehicle
Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
Optimised urban and peri-urban trips with no charging to manage. 2nd of 11 in Power-to-weight (182 hp/t).
Less suitable for
Home charging access not leveraged. If you have a dedicated outlet, a PHEV would allow daily commutes in pure electric mode.
Alternatives to consider
If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Bmw 760i xDrive (1st with 4.2 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Bmw 840d xDrive Convertible (1st with 250 km/h) takes the lead.
Acceleration: 5.4 s 0-100 (11th of 11 in 0–100 km/h)
In pure acceleration, the 740i ranks 11th of 11 in 0–100 km/h, 1.2 s off the reference Bmw 760i xDrive (4.2 s).
Top speed: 250 km/h (5th of 11 in Top speed)
Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 250 km/h.
