Manufacturer data · motorway values calibrated by the Caralogy engine

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.

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

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).

Less suitable for

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.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid (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 (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.

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), 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).

47 km WLTP announced — making it the 6th of 10 in autonomie du segment out of 10 models. The reference is the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid (50 km).

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

The Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid 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 duel for a detailed comparison.

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.
