Review: 2023 BMW 318i Touring

2023 BMW 318i Touring

Five-door cars can be a bit polarizing. Some people prefer the traditional sedan, while others simply prefer a hatch or a wagon. I fall under the latter.

But regardless of whether you like five-doors or not, you’ve got to admit that these models do nothing but spice up any carmaker’s lineup. Just take a look at Honda and the Civic hatchback we’ll never get in the Philippines —we love the sedan, but having the hatch would’ve been extra cool, too.

This also can’t be any truer in the case of BMW. It wasn’t until midway through 2023 that the German carmaker decided to reintroduce a wagon in its lineup . And it didn’t just launch the 318i Touring and the M340i xDrive Touring —it brought in the M3 Competition xDrive Touring as well.

I was recently able to drive one of those new Bimmers. Unfortunately, it had neither an M badge nor a simple letter ‘M’ with it. Nevertheless, it was still a five-door BMW—something I had never tried out before myself. Over the weekend that I had it, I put my love for wagons aside and tried to see and understand this car for what it was, without bias. Read on to see what I’ve discovered.

In case it still needs saying, I’m a wagon fan. There really will be some biases when we start talking about design. But let’s start with the front end: Honestly, I’m just glad that on the 318i Touring, it’s the ‘cleaner’ kind.

It still has that sizeable kidney grille on the nose, but it’s nowhere near as big as the ones on the likes of the M-badged Bimmers. The front fascia also looks very sculpted, with lines adorning the front clip and flowing further towards the sides of the vehicle.

The back, meanwhile, is as simple as it is sexy. It looks beefy with the right amount of sportiness thanks to that small spoiler and the dual exhaust tips. But save for those, there aren’t a lot of things going on here, which is good. It’s not overstyled and overdesigned like most cars in our market these days.

2023 BMW 318i Touring

While the 3-Series Touring’s exterior isn’t too loud, it’s the exact opposite inside. The cabin greets you with this beautiful and striking red leather all around. There’s red on the seats, the center armrest, and the door panels—if you spend enough time inside this car, you’d start thinking the outside was red, too.

As with most BMWs, it’s a pretty busy cabin, but the layout is fairly clean. See, there’s a lot of tech here, but they’ve managed to keep most of the controls on the center console and away from your line of sight when you’re driving. To me, that makes the view a bit more relaxing when you’re behind the wheel. And despite that, all the buttons and knobs are within reach of the driver and are easy to operate—but let’s talk more about that later.

In terms of space, it’s just…okay. I can fit myself properly in the driver’s seat with enough room left behind me for the average-sized adult. In terms of comfort, however, the car impresses. The seats are soft and plush, and there are a lot of available adjustments for the driver. What I reckon isn’t too comfortable here is the middle seat at the back. Since this is a rear-driven vehicle, there’s a large tunnel underneath, and said tunnel gets in the way big-time for the fifth passenger.

2023 BMW 318i Touring

In the rearmost portion of the cabin—the trunk—you get 500 liters of storage space. The second-row seats can all be folded down to open up a total of 1,510 liters of space. That’s the magic of these estate cars. You can fit so much stuff here that probably hauling medium-sized pieces of furniture would be doable.

Engine performance

2023 BMW 318i Touring

At the heart of the 318i Touring is a 2.0-liter TwinPower turbopetrol that generates 154hp at 4,500-6,500rpm and 250Nm of torque at 1,300 to 4,300rpm. Peak torque comes in early, and you’ll really feel you’re in that power band at relatively lower revs because the engine feels punchy and responsive despite it being turbocharged.

The gasoline powertrain makes for spirited drives, and it makes the wagon feel sportier on the road than it looks. It’s no M car, but for a family-oriented vehicle, this is undoubtedly a lot of fun. It has paddle shifters, too, so you can use that eight-speed Steptronic automatic gearbox to your liking and make trips to the grocery store—with or without the kids—more fun than usual. And if that’s not enough, you can also select Sport mode, in case Comfort and Eco Pro won’t cut it.

2023 BMW 318i Touring

It’s somewhat practical, too, as I got a consistent 10-11km/L the entire time I was driving it. Those drives consisted of a lot of highway driving and a considerable amount of time of laid-back driving in Metro Manila with moderate traffic. BMW claims the Touring can do better, and I wouldn’t argue about that. I may have been a bit hard on the gas pedal when I was driving the wagon and I didn’t use Eco mode that much, either.

Ride and handling

2023 BMW 318i Touring

If there’s one thing I like about the 3-Series Touring, it’s that its steering feels very precise. It’s not meant to be sporty like its M-badged siblings, but for a station wagon, it impresses. It’s got powerful brakes and grippy Michelin Pilot Sport tires right out the factory, so I wouldn’t be surprised if people actually take this to the track as it is.

But put fast driving and supposed track days aside, this is still one very comfortable wagon. NVH levels are kept to a minimum as road and outside noise is greatly suppressed when you’re inside the cabin. It sits on 17-inch wheels shod in low-profile tires, so I’d still be careful with sizeable potholes on the road, but for the most part, the car eats up typical road imperfections with ease.

And when you’re solely in the city, the steering lightens up a bit and makes the wagon very manageable even in tight areas. Everyday use is fairly easy, too, as it’s easy to get in and out of the vehicle thanks to the large door openings. It may be a bit longer and wider than most ideal city cars, but it’s still a comfy and easy-to-drive daily.

Extra features

2023 BMW 318i Touring

This may be the base variant I tested out, but it’s still got a lot of toys to go along with it. Of course, front and center and most notable of all is the large infotainment system, or the BMW Widescreen Display. It has both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, the latter of which can be used wirelessly and seamlessly at that.

The screen is angled towards the driver so it’s easier to look at, and you can navigate the head unit via the dial near the gear shifter. It just takes some time to get used to it, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll find that it’s a very handy tool. The digital instrument cluster is integrated into the same clear and wide display, and it contains all of the basic information you’ll need. My only gripe here is that the controls for the A/C are also in the display—I really just prefer manufacturers sticking to tactile buttons switches for this one.

2023 BMW 318i Touring

The 3-Series Wagon also comes with a few more driver-assist aids that I appreciate, such as auto brake hold and cruise control. There’s a speed limiter there, too, which is helpful for those who often find themselves having a little too much fun behind the wheel…

Other nifty additions I need to point out here are the rear A/C vents and the divider net and tonneau cover in the trunk that come as standard.

2023 BMW 318i Touring

We don’t get enough wagons here in our market. No surprise there, as we Filipinos prefer our crossovers and our pickups and our midsize SUVs. But for the few of us who do prefer the estate cars, we have models like the 318i Touring.

Sure, it’s slim pickings, but this basically has everything you’d want in a station wagon. And if this just isn’t enough, those with the bigger need for speed (and deeper pockets) can opt for the M variant. But for me, this base five-door does it.

It looks classy, feels sporty, and has the oomph I look for in a daily driver. The only problem now is where to get that P3.89 million , because this thing sure ain’t cheap…

Introduction, what car says....

Before SUVs took over the world, estate cars were the luggage kings, and the BMW 3 Series Touring is one that appeals to drivers while remaining unfazed by the prospect of wardrobe transportation.

This latest generation of the 3 Series Touring hasn’t strayed far from the time-proven formula for building a sporty estate car . BMW has added some exterior styling tweaks and revamped technology to keep its contender fresh next to the competition.

Based on the BMW 3 Series saloon, the 3 Series Touring is the smaller of the two estates in the German premium brand's line-up, sitting below the larger  BMW 5 Series Touring .

Like that car, it has a wide range of engine options to suit most tastes and budgets, with strong yet efficient petrols and diesels, plus a plug-in hybrid ( PHEV ) that can travel more than 30 miles on electricity alone and could slice chunks off your company car tax bill.

Tried and tested rear-wheel drive is standard, or there's the option of four-wheel drive (xDrive in BMW speak). Meanwhile, if performance is your thing, there’s a hot petrol M340i or diesel M340d, or the even more powerful BMW M3 Touring .

What Car? Buying a car frequently asked questions

What Car? has a buying service

Inside, you’ll find all the quality and sophistication you might expect of a BMW, so this should be a slam-dunk choice, right? Well, the 3 Series Touring doesn’t exactly have the market to itself.

For a start, it faces direct competition from the Audi A4 Avant , the  Mercedes C-Class Estate  and the  Volvo V60 . More practical yet less expensive family haulers such as the Skoda Superb Estate and the  VW Passat Estate  are also well worth considering if you can live without a premium badge.

Over the next few pages of this review, we'll tell you what the 3 Series Touring is like to drive, what it’s like inside and how much it’ll cost to run. We'll also rate it in all the important areas and tell you which engine and trim we recommend.

But whichever car you decide is the right one for you, make sure you get it for the best price by checking out the free What Car? New Car Deals pages for big savings without any hassle, including lots of new estate car deals .

Performance & drive

What it’s like to drive, and how quiet it is, engine, 0-60mph and gearbox.

Diesel power has proved popular in the BMW 3 Series Touring over the years, and the 320d in today’s line-up is a fine choice. This strong 187bhp 2.0-litre engine is more than gutsy enough, getting the car from 0-62mph in just over seven seconds – around the same time as the rival  Audi A4 Avant 40 TDI.

BMW 3 Series image

If you’re not planning on doing a massive mileage, we’d point you in the direction of the 181bhp 320i. This 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine is perky enough for most situations, including overtaking on country roads, and its rev-happy nature sits well with the car’s sporty character.

If you need some extra punch, we’d recommend you take a look at the 330e. With 288bhp, this plug-in hybrid (PHEV) has plenty of performance and adds an official electric-only range of up to 34 miles, although it should be noted that the Mercedes C-Class Estate  in C300e form does considerably better, with an electric range of more than 50 miles.

What if straight-line performance is your main concern, though? Well, we'd suggest checking out the range-toppers, both of which have six-cylinder engines. The M340i xDrive petrol has a salivating 369bhp that chops the 0-62mph sprint down to just 4.6sec, while the grunt-laden M340d diesel is only just behind (4.7sec). Still not enough? There’s always the 503bhp BMW M3 Touring .

Suspension and ride comfort

How smoothly the BMW 3 Series Touring rides depends on which suspension set-up you choose: the standard system, stiffer M Sport or M adaptive suspension. We’ve yet to sample a 3 Series Touring on its standard suspension, but if the saloon is anything to go by, it should offer a good balance between comfort and control, although you'll be more aware of the bumps than in an A4 Avant. 

M Sport models have a stiffer set-up that means you'll feel every bump as it passes beneath the car. Still, while the ride is on the firm side in this guise, body movements are neatly controlled, so there's no unwanted bounciness over crests and dips.

M adaptive suspension is standard with top-spec M models or on M Sport models as part of the M Sport Pro Package. It’s not cheap, but the benefit is that you can stiffen or soften it at the touch of a button. Set to Comfort mode, this set-up helps the 3 Series Touring to smother big bumps with ease while remaining controlled over undulating roads. The A4 Avant is still the comfort king in this class, though.

BMW 3 Series Touring rear cornering

On the stiffer M Sport suspension and optional adaptive suspension that we've tried so far, the 3 Series Touring will put a far bigger smile on your face than an A4 Avant or a Volvo V60 when it comes to handling. It feels more agile and better balanced through corners than those rivals, with little in the way of body lean. The sweet-handling M340i and M340d cement this estate’s class-leading status when it comes to handling, easily beating the rival Audi S4 Avant and Mercedes C43 Estate for thrills.

No matter which suspension or engine option you go for, all 3 Series Touring models have brilliant steering. It’s really good at telling you exactly how much grip the front wheels have, helping you to instinctively judge how much steering lock to apply.

The heavy battery in the 330e PHEV makes it the least alert version of the 3 Series Touring, but only by a small margin, and it's much better to drive than the equivalent V60 Recharge.

Noise and vibration

Thanks to foam-filled front pillars and a standard acoustic windshield, there’s hardly any wind noise at motorway speeds in the 3 Series Touring, although you might hear a faint whistle from the side mirrors when the stereo is muted. 

The six-cylinder engines (M340d and M340i) sound sweet, while the less powerful four-cylinder petrol has a gruffer but still perfectly acceptable tone. The big-selling 320d diesel is also fine, but not quite as hushed as the equivalent A4 40 TDI. That said, the 3 Series Touring's automatic gearbox is much quicker to react than the equivalents in the A4 and V60.

Most 3 Series Touring models have strong brakes and are easy to bring to a halt smoothly, but the 330e PHEV’s feel a bit weird. That’s because they're linked to a regenerative braking system that harvests energy when you slow down to top up the battery. Still, they're more confidence-inspiring than the brakes of many other hybrid cars. Also on the plus side, there's no engine noise when the 330e is running on electric power alone.

The interior layout, fit and finish

Driving position and dashboard.

The driver’s seat in the BMW 3 Series Touring is comfy enough for long journeys yet has enough bolstering to hold you in place during quick direction changes. It’s a shame, though, that adjustable lumbar support costs extra even on top-spec models. It's not that pricey, though, and definitely worth adding.

Thanks to extensive adjustment in the steering wheel and seat, you’ll find a decent driving position in a matter of seconds. In fact, as you sit there with a large, well-padded armrest for each elbow to rest upon, you might think ‘perfect’ sums up the 3 Series Touring’s driving position. However, it's not quite as good as that of the Volvo V60  for one key reason: the pedals are offset slightly to the right. The same is true in the Audi A4 Avant and Mercedes C-Class Estate  but it's not a major blight.

The dashboard layout is very good for the most part. Most functions are simple to use, but it’s a shame that adjusting the climate control is now done via the infotainment touchscreen rather than by pressing physical buttons. Physical controls – which BMW used to fit – were far simpler to use while driving. The 12.3in digital instrument panel that's standard with all trim levels is clear and shows lots of information, but some drivers might find the steering wheel blocks the upper part of the screen. The optional Technology Pack adds a head-up display.

Visibility, parking sensors and cameras

The fact that you sit fairly low in the 3 Series Touring adds to its sporty feel, but forward visibility is still excellent, thanks to comparatively slim windscreen pillars. By contrast, the rearmost pillars are fairly thick, restricting your over-the-shoulder view.

Not to worry, though, because you get front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera and BMW's Parking Assistant system, which can identify a suitable space and steer you into it, all as standard. There's also an optional 360-degree camera that offers multiple views around the car.

All 3 Series Touring models get powerful full LED headlights, and you can go one step further by upgrading to adaptive laser lights. Not only are these even brighter, but they can also automatically change the shape of the light pattern they cast, to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers, even with high beam on.

BMW 3 Series Touring interior dashboard

Sat nav and infotainment

All 3 Series Touring trims come with a pin-sharp 14.9in infotainment touchscreen. Standard features include sat-nav, Bluetooth, a DAB radio, and  Android Auto  and  Apple CarPlay smartphone mirroring (so you can run phone apps through the screen).

The optional Technology Pack adds wireless phone-charging, a wi-fi hotspot, a Harman Kardon premium sound system and gesture control, which allows you to control some functions by making hand gestures in the air. There are a lot of menus and sub-menus, but this system is more responsive than what you'll find in the C-Class Estate.

You can control the system using a rotary controller between the front seats; this is far less distracting than prodding the touchscreen when you're driving. It's one of the main reasons why we prefer the 3 Series Touring's infotainment to the touchscreen-only set-up in the A4 Avant (and those of any other rival, for that matter).

There isn’t much to complain about when it comes to quality in the 3 Series Touring. The dashboard is nice and squidgy, and the metal-effect buttons feel pleasingly solid when you press them. There’s also a good choice of interior trim choices, including a futuristic-looking metal mesh effect or more traditional open-pore wood.

If we're nitpicking, there are certain areas, such as around the gear selector, where you don’t get the same classy finish as you’ll find in an A4 Avant or V60. The 3 Series Touring's interior still beats the C-Class Estate's for build quality, though.

Passenger & boot space

How it copes with people and clutter, front space.

The BMW 3 Series Touring has a bit more leg room up front than the Audi A4 Avant . There's not a huge difference, but it might be a deciding factor if you’re particularly long-legged. Head room shouldn't be a worry even if you’re tall, and the generous interior width means there’s no risk of rubbing elbows with your passenger.

Storage space in the 3 Series Touring is reasonable. There’s a useful cubby under the centre armrest that has a USB-C socket inside, as well as partitioned door bins that help to prevent loose items from rolling around.

There’s as much rear seat space in the 3 Series Touring as most passengers will need – a six-footer can sit behind someone of similar stature and still have space in all directions. The optional panoramic glass roof reduces head room slightly, though, and a substantial hump in the floor makes life a bit uncomfortable for the middle rear passenger.

If you regularly need to carry three adults in the back, consider the  Volvo V60 . Or, if you're not fussed about a premium badge, the  Skoda Superb Estate offers limo-like rear leg room for a lot less money.

BMW 3 Series Touring interior rear seats

Seat folding and flexibility

The 3 Series Touring's standard 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats offer greater flexibility than the regular 60/40 ones you’ll find in the V60. They allow you to juggle luggage and passenger space with ease, and you can reach the levers to do this from the boot.

The folding process can be made even easier if you opt for the electric setback release, which replaces the levers with a couple of small buttons on the inside of the boot. Rivals including the Mercedes C-Class Estate offer a similar feature.

The 3 Series Touring has a reasonable boot that's roughly on a par with the A4 Avant's, but smaller than the Volvo V60's. Just bear in mind that while both the A4 Avant and 3 Series Touring can swallow seven carry-on suitcases beneath their load covers, the latter is rather narrow between the rear wheel arches.

That can be problematic for Ikea runs, and even getting a bike in the back can be troublesome. If the reason you're choosing an estate is that you want the biggest boot possible, consider the cheaper Superb Estate (which can swallow a whopping 11 carry-on cases).

What might sway you in favour of the Touring, though, is that its rear window can open independently of the tailgate. This handy feature allows you to stow light items, such as shopping bags, without opening the entire tailgate.  You can specify rubber strips that run the length of the boot floor to help prevent things from sliding around, and there’s a space beneath the floor for stowing the tonneau cover when it isn't being used.

Buying & owning

Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is, costs, insurance groups, mpg and co2.

Broadly speaking, the BMW 3 Series Touring is priced between the slightly cheaper Audi A4 Avant and the slightly more expensive Mercedes C-Class Estate and Volvo V60 . Resale values are quite strong by class standards, and that bodes well if you’re looking to buy one using PCP finance.

If you’re a company car driver, you should look at the 330e plug-in hybrid ( PHEV ) because its low CO2 emissions keep it in the lower company car tax bands. To get the best fuel economy out of the 330e, you need to keep the battery charged, otherwise you’re carrying dead weight around while running on its 2.0-litre petrol engine. Even so, we’d advise company car drivers to also consider the C300e PHEV version of the C-Class Estate, which has lower emissions and therefore sits in an even lower tax band. The C-Class Estate can also travel almost twice as far from a full charge as the 3 Series Touring.

If you opt for the 330e, charging takes six hours from empty if you plug into a regular domestic three-pin socket, or about three and a half hours if you plug into an electric car charging point using the optional Type 2 lead.

The 320d will feature on many company car lists too, and is RDE2 compliant, so it won’t incur the 4% diesel surcharge. Its mild-hybrid assistance makes it very economical in real-world driving, as it proved in our True MPG test, with an overall figure of 47.2mpg in mixed driving.

Equipment, options and extras

The entry-level Sport is the cheapest 3 Series trim, but it still comes with plenty of kit, including 17in alloy wheels, LED headlights, heated front seats, three-zone air conditioning and cruise control. 

Stepping up to M Sport will put you in our favourite version and introduces 18in wheels, sportier exterior styling and the chance to add the optional M Sport Pro Pack, bringing the desirable adaptive suspension we mentioned earlier (along with lots of other goodies). It's well worth the money for the plusher ride it provides.

The range-topping M340i and M340d models get the M Sport Pro Pack as standard and have bespoke adaptive suspension that's more performance-orientated.

Reliability

BMW as a brand finished 16th out of 32 manufacturers in the 2022  What Car? Reliability Survey . That's behind Lexus (which topped the table), but ahead of Audi (21st), Mercedes (23rd) and Jaguar (26th).

BMW provides a three-year warranty with no mileage cap. That's good by class standards, because many rivals have a mileage limit. You can extend the warranty for an extra cost if you intend to keep the car for longer.

The 330e PHEV has cover for the battery extended to six years (capped at 60,000 miles for the last three).

Safety and security

The 3 Series Touring landed a five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP , outperforming the V60 tested around the same time in the adult, child, and vulnerable road user categories. Comparisons between major rivals such as the A4 Avant and C-Class Estate are tricky, because the A4 was tested so long ago that its rating has expired, while the C-Class was tested under the far more stringent current regime. 

All versions come with a healthy roster of active and passive safety systems. The list includes automatic emergency braking ( AEB ) that looks out for pedestrians as well as cars, plus lane-departure warning and traffic-sign recognition.

The optional Driving Assistant Professional pack further reduces your chances of an incident with the addition of lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

We’d say it's worth buying over the Audi A4 Avant or Mercedes C-Class Estate if you value driver enjoyment. However, the plug-in hybrid  (PHEV) C-Class is a better choice for company car users.

The entry-level Touring costs significantly more than the Skoda Superb Estate and a little more than the equivalent Audi A4 Avant but a little less than a Mercedes C-Class Estate . You can check the latest prices using our New Car Deals service .

We’d recommend the M Sport trim with the M Sport Pro pack to get the best ride. Company car drivers should opt for the 330e plug-in hybrid ( PHEV ) for the lowest company car tax  while private buyers will be best off with the efficient 320d.

The Touring actually has the same footprint as the BMW 3 Series saloon (4713mm length, 2068mm width, 1440mm height).

It's certainly a premium option, but the BMW 5 Series Touring is a far more luxurious choice with greater refinement.

Power certainly isn’t everything. When it comes to having fun, power is not a requirement. What’s more important for fun, especially on track, are a balanced chassis, communicative steering, and a sense of humor. That principle couldn’t be more on display than in this video from Misha Charoudin, in which he laps an incredibly slow E36-generation BMW 318i Touring on the Nürburgring.

As per usual, Charoudin laps someone else’s car, as fans of the channel regularly bring him their cars to lap, both so they can experience a lap with Charoudin behind the wheel and to see what their car can really do. Usually, those cars are fast, heavily modified, track-ready cars—911s, M3s , Civic Type Rs, stuff like that. And they usually have high-quality mods and great tires. This time, though, it’s a lowly E36 318i Touring with virtually no mods and even some parts from other car brands (its exhaust is from a VW). Not exactly the ideal Nürburgring car.

However, despite the 318i’s lack of power—a stock E36 318i makes about 120 horsepower on its best day—and the fact that they had three people on board during the lap, it was an absolute blast to drive. And it was all due to two things: the playful chassis of the E36 and the relaxed nature of the lap.

bmw 318i tour

When you drive a slow car at its absolute limit, you can explore what makes driving truly fun in a safe manner. The E36 318i Touring is a slow car, it doesn’t have enough power to get into too much trouble because, even if you go absolutely flat-out all the time, it’s barely powerful enough to reach uncontrollable speeds. Charoudin’s lap in the 318i had to be his slowest of the year by a huge margin but it also seemed like one of the most fun because everyone in the car was laughing. At one point, the do battle with an MX-5 and it seems like so much fun. I also want to point out that someone did a lap of the Nürburgring flat-out in an E36 and it didn’t overheat. Remarkable.

This video just proves that the old adage that it’s more fun to drive as slow car fast, rather than a fast car slowly, is true. Slow cars can absolutely be fun to drive, you just need to make sure you have a playful chassis and a funny attitude about it.

Front design.

With their arrangement as an upside-down L-shape at the front, the narrow LED headlights create an especially dynamic appearance. In combination with the broad kidney grille, the large hexagonal air inlet and the vertical Air Curtains, they underpin the dynamic effect of breadth produced by the BMW 3 Series Touring.

Side design.

Iconic design features such as a long wheelbase, short overhangs and the dynamic Hofmeister kink are responsible for the particularly athletic appearance of the BMW 3 Series Touring in the side view. The angle of the air inlets and the front and rear apron dynamically seize on and continue the typical character of the edge behind the front wheel.

Fuel consumption and CO2 emission of the BMW 3 Series Touring models.

*For plug-in hybrid vehicles these figures were obtained using a combination of battery power and fuel, for battery electric vehicles after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. Figures shown are for comparability purposes. Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load. At temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius, the purely electric driving mode of plug-in hybrid models will not be available until the battery has warmed up to an operational condition after the vehicle has travelled a few miles.
