BMW 740Le xDrive 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 xDrive iPerformance rank in its segment?

Among the 10 limousines plug-in hybrid 2016–2020, the 740Le xDrive iPerformance ranks 10th of 10 in Electric WLTP range (38 km, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo), 6th of 10 in Combined range (435 km, behind the BMW 745Le), 10th of 10 in Thermal cons. estimated (11.6 L/100, behind the BMW 745Le), 7th of 10 in 0–100 km/h (5.3 s, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo).

What is the électrique range of the 740Le xDrive iPerformance?

38 km WLTP announced - making it the 10th of 10 in autonomie du segment out of 10 models. The reference is the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo (50 km).

How much does the 740Le xDrive 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 38 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 740Le xDrive 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.
