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 14 limousines plug-in hybrid, the 745Le combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (mid-table), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the 745Le 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 14 in Combined range (809 km), 1st of 13 in Thermal cons. estimated (6.0 L/100).
Regular family use with bulky luggage. The space and boot are sport-calibrated, not utility. A sedan or SUV from the same manufacturer would be more practical daily.
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: 47 km pure electric (mid-table)
With a full battery, the 745Le drives in pure electric mode for the first 47 km WLTP - placing it 6th 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 745Le behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.

BMW 745Le: 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 745Le rank in its segment?
Among the 14 limousines plug-in hybrid 2018–2022, the 745Le ranks 6th of 10 in Electric WLTP range (47 km, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo), 2nd of 14 in Combined range (809 km, behind the BMW 840d xDrive Gran Coupe), 1st of 13 in Thermal cons. estimated (6.0 L/100, behind the BMW 745Le), 12th of 14 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 745Le?
47 km WLTP announced - making it the 6th 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 745Le 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 47 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 745Le 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.
