Superficially, there’s very little difference between this PHEV and its petrol/diesel-powered equivalent. Essentially, it’s the same, classy vehicle, with a powerful-looking front-end featuring the classic ‘kidney’ grille, which is flanked by sleek headlights. The same goes for the car’s attractive profile, which is enhanced considerably by an elegant, swept-back roofline.

Chrome accentsThe aforementioned radiator grille features a chrome-finished frame and contains a series of black vertical slats. This eye-catching fixture has a practical application, however – it allows air to circulate around important internal components, such as engine and brakes.
Alloy wheel optionsThe vehicle’s already-impressive flanks are further boosted by the addition of minimum-size 17-inch alloys. Sporting an eye-catching V-spoke design, these lightweight wheels help to deliver optimal fuel-efficiency.
Body-coloured fixturesThe iPerformance Saloon’s numerous body-coloured fixtures include bumpers, door handles and door mirror shells, all of which beautifully complement your paint finish of choice. Jet Black or Alpine White is applied as standard, while a host of optional colours are also available.
Due to its inclusion of a battery pack, this PHEV’s 375-litre boot doesn’t quite match up to that of its purely fuel-powered sibling. Nevertheless, the presence of 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats makes it easy to increase capacity further.

Climate control comfortThanks to electric windows (that provide easy one-touch operation) and automatic two-zone air-conditioning, you’ll have no problems establishing an ideal cabin temperature.
Luxury finishesThe car features several luxurious touches in its cabin, such as a leather multi-function steering wheel. To enjoy more of the same, namely Dakota leather upholstery, please consider upgrading to the next-tier ED Plus trim.
Smooth electric drivingWhen travelling in all-electric (EV) mode, the iPerformance Saloon delivers an exceptionally refined motoring experience, particularly when driving at low speeds.
The car’s 2.0-litre turbo-boosted 249bhp petrol engine, in combination with a lithium-ion battery, is capable of delivering a 37-mile electric-only range, which is more than enough to cover an average commute. Providing there is sufficient charge, output can be increased to as much as 289bhp for a short period of time. More importantly, the vehicle’s PHEV set-up returns as much as 201mpg and produces CO2 emissionsas low as 37g/km, which makes it a fine cost-saving proposition for business users. The car’s battery can be charged using a standard mains supply, which takes approximately 5.5 hours. When charging via a 3.7 kW power source, the battery typically reaches 80 percent full in 2.5 hours.

The vehicle comes with a maximum five-star Euro NCAP crash-test rating and a host of safety tech, such as a rear-mounted camera and Autonomous Emergency Braking. The latter uses sensors that keep tabs on the gap between the car and the vehicle in front, reacting instantly if that space is encroached upon.
