Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
limousine plug-in hybrid among the best in segment: 5th of 13 in Thermal cons. estimated (6.6 L/100).
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: 45 km pure electric (mid-table)
With a full battery, the 745Le xDrive drives in pure electric mode for the first 45 km WLTP — placing it 7th of 10 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid (50 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the 745Le xDrive behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
