Plug-in hybrid
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Electric share | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid · 155 kW (211 hp) | 5,891 | 1.7 | 6.8 | 21% | +305% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 150 kW (204 hp) | 5,697 | 0.6 | 5.7 | 34% | +820% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 185 kW (252 hp) | 641 | 0.7 | 6.3 | 33% | +776% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 330 kW (449 hp) | 372 | 1.0 | 9.5 | 25% | +873% |
| Diesel plug-in hybrid · 143 kW (194 hp) | 16,626 | 1.4 | 5.8 | 15% | +317% |
| Diesel plug-in hybrid · 145 kW (197 hp) | 6,404 | 0.6 | 4.8 | 29% | +728% |
The official WLTP figure for plug-in hybrids assumes a share of electric driving based on range. When cars are charged less often than assumed, real consumption is far higher.
