WLTP is the official EU test cycle; real-world figures are usually a bit lower. See the guide on WLTP versus real-world consumption.

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.
Profile · Plug-in Hybrid 195 e-DCS7 (P51, 2025+)
Plug-in hybrid (Plug-in Hybrid 195 e-DCS7) with around 85 km WLTP electric range from a 17.2 kWh battery (manufacturer figure, indicative). The WLTP figure of around 0.8 l/100km applies only with a full battery; drive it empty and you are effectively driving a petrol car carrying battery weight. The actual outcome depends on how often you charge (utility factor).
Profile · VII (5G) facelift
Plug-in hybrid Golf VII (facelift), 1.4 TSI plus e-motor, 204 hp system power. Limited electric range around 50 km and a low combined cycle consumption that depends strongly on charging behaviour. Historical reference, no longer available as a new car.
