Plug-in hybrid
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Electric share | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid · 150 kW (204 hp) | 21,999 | 0.5 | 5.3 | 43% | +894% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 155 kW (211 hp) | 16,900 | 2.3 | 7.5 | 22% | +223% |

| Plug-in hybrid · 350 kW (476 hp) | 569 | 7.5 | 13.5 | 9% | +80% |
| Diesel plug-in hybrid · 143 kW (194 hp) | 32,211 | 1.9 | 6.3 | 17% | +229% |
| Diesel plug-in hybrid · 145 kW (197 hp) | 19,607 | 0.6 | 4.8 | 34% | +784% |
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.
