Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

limousine plug-in hybrid among the best in segment: 5th of 14 in Combined range (777 km), 4th of 13 in Thermal cons. estimated (6.3 L/100).

Alternatives to consider

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 840d xDrive Gran Coupe (1st with 1119 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 49 km pure electric (mid-table)

With a full battery, the 745e drives in pure electric mode for the first 49 km WLTP - placing it 5th 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 745e behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
