Mercedes-Benz E-Class Diesel plug-in hybrid · 143 kW (194 hp)
Measured by the on-board fuel meters of 16,626 cars · 2024 data
Real-world consumption is 317% above official.
How much is driven on electricity
Owners drive 15% of their kilometres in electric mode with the engine off.
A further 4% is driven with a charged battery but the engine running.
They charge on average 3.7 kWh from the grid per 100 km driven.
Official electric range: 51 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 4.9 and 6.5 L/100 km. The most economical tenth stays under 3.9; the thirstiest tenth uses more than 7.1.
Each bar is a 0.5 L range; its height and the figure above it show what share of cars fall in that range.

Fuel prices including taxes from the European Commission Weekly Oil Bulletin of 12 October 2026. Cost = consumption × price × distance. The default distance is an example; change it to yours.
Official and real columns are fuel only. The charging column adds the electricity these cars draw from the grid on average, at household prices (Eurostat).
