Caralogy Methodology
Performance (0-100, top speed) simulated by the Caralogy physics engine (SCx, Crr, real torque curves). Motorway consumption values estimated from the manufacturer WLTP cycle.

Among the 10 limousines plug-in hybrid, the 740Le 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 740Le iPerformance through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.
Tailored to this vehicle?
limousine plug-in hybrid among the best in segment: 2nd of 10 in Combined range (799 km), 2nd of 10 in Thermal cons. estimated (6.1 L/100).
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.
If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo (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 740Le iPerformance drives in pure electric mode for the first 41 km WLTP - placing it 8th of 10 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo (50 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the 740Le iPerformance behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.

BMW 740Le iPerformance: 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 740Le iPerformance rank in its segment?
Among the 10 limousines plug-in hybrid 2016–2020, the 740Le iPerformance ranks 8th of 10 in Electric WLTP range (41 km, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo), 2nd of 10 in Combined range (799 km, behind the BMW 745Le), 2nd of 10 in Thermal cons. estimated (6.1 L/100, behind the BMW 745Le), 10th of 10 in 0–100 km/h (5.5 s, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo).
What is the électrique range of the 740Le iPerformance?
41 km WLTP announced - making it the 8th of 10 in Electric WLTP range out of 10 models. The reference is the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo (50 km).
How much does the 740Le iPerformance cost to run?
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
Why not a Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo instead?
The Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo leads in Electric WLTP range (50 km vs 41 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 740Le iPerformance vs Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo duel for a detailed comparison.
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.
