Among the 10 limousines plug-in hybrid, the 740Le xDrive iPerformance combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (last in segment), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the 740Le xDrive iPerformance through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.
Caralogy Analysis
Tailored to this vehicle?
In the city: 38 km pure electric (last in segment)
With a full battery, the 740Le xDrive iPerformance drives in pure electric mode for the first 38 km WLTP - placing it 10th 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 xDrive iPerformance behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
