Engines with fewer than 100 cars in the data are not shown. Hybrid includes mild hybrids (48 V) as registered by the manufacturer.
Plug-in hybrid
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Electric share | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid · 118 kW (160 hp) | 24,721 | 1.4 | 4.9 | 34% | +251% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 120 kW (163 hp) | 13,647 | 1.2 | 5.4 | 32% | +366% |
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.
By reporting year
| cars | Real world | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 5,573 | 7.0 |
| 2022 | 31,654 | 7.0 |
| 2023 | 55,439 | 6.9 |
