Caralogy Verdict

Suitable for

Optimised urban and peri-urban trips with no charging to manage. 3rd of 10 in 0–100 km/h (4.8 s), 4th of 10 in Power-to-weight (178 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Home charging access not leveraged. If you have a dedicated outlet, a PHEV would allow daily commutes in pure electric mode.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the BMW 760i xDrive (1st with 4.2 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the BMW 740d xDrive (1st with 250 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 4.8 s 0-100 (3rd of 10 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the 840d xDrive ranks 3rd of 10 in 0–100 km/h, 0.6 s off the reference BMW 760i xDrive (4.2 s).

Top speed: 250 km/h (10th of 10 in Top speed)

Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 250 km/h.

BMW 840d xDrive: 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 840d xDrive rank in its segment?

Among the 10 limousines hybrid 2018–2022, the 840d xDrive ranks 3rd of 10 in 0–100 km/h (4.8 s, behind the BMW 760i xDrive), 10th of 10 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the BMW 740d xDrive), 4th of 10 in Power-to-weight (178 hp/t, behind the BMW 760i xDrive).

How much does the 840d xDrive 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 BMW 760i xDrive instead?

The BMW 760i xDrive leads in 0–100 km/h (4.2 s vs 4.8 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 840d xDrive vs BMW 760i xDrive 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.
