Mercedes-Benz E-Class Plug-in hybrid · 185 kW (252 hp)
Measured by the on-board fuel meters of 641 cars · 2024 data
Real-world consumption is 776% above official. 171 of the other 187 plug-in hybrids in the data come closer to their official figure.
How much is driven on electricity
Owners drive 33% of their kilometres in electric mode with the engine off.
A further 9% is driven with a charged battery but the engine running.
They charge on average 8.6 kWh from the grid per 100 km driven.
Official electric range: 106 km.
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.
How much drivers actually use
Half of the cars use between 4.7 and 7.6 L/100 km. The most economical tenth stays under 3.2; the thirstiest tenth uses more than 8.7.
Each bar is a 0.5 L range; its height and the figure above it show what share of cars fall in that range.
