Buying decision
EvCompass verdict
The main arguments drawn from approved data and the EvCompass editorial summary.
A 106 kWh usable battery at 221 Wh/km gives 480 km of real range. 4.5 s to 100 km/h and 973 Nm keep 2,725 kg purposeful.
This discontinued version reaches a 168 kW DC peak and takes 32 min from 10 to 80%. A 590 l boot and 1,800 kg towing capacity make the utility case clear.
Best suited to
You choose it when 480 km of range and 1,800 kg of towing capacity matter more than 2,725 kg of mass.

Calculation assumptions and sources
Applied settings

Real-world consumption
Mild weather: 194 Wh/km
Cold weather: 259 Wh/km
Cold-weather share: 44.2% from the 1991–2020 climate normals, source read on September 13, 2026. IMGW-PIB source
The source does not state whether these figures include charging losses; no additional loss factor is applied.
Tyre ageing without mileage is excluded; seasonal changeovers are counted twice per year.
Home tariff
G11 — flat rate: PLN 1.10/kWh · source read on September 13, 2026 · Poradnia OZE; assembled from URE-approved PGE 2026 tariffs
Indicative reconstruction: PGE Obrót energy, PGE Dystrybucja variable distribution and variable statutory charges from the 2026 tariffs were summed net and increased by 23% VAT. Fixed monthly fees are excluded. The result is below the shared G11 range of PLN 1.18–1.32/kWh because it includes variable items only; published comparisons may include other charges or assume a different billing profile.

Tools
Calculate for this car
- Charging costPick a model from the catalogue, set the charge window, and compare a real operator price with one you type in yourself.
- Charging timePick a model from the catalogue, set the charge window, and see how long the session actually takes at a given charging post's power.
- Real rangeSee how temperature, speed, occupancy, a roof box and winter tyres change a model's real-world range compared with its WLTP rating.
- Trip plannerPlan charging stops for a route — see how many stops, how much time and how much it costs to get there while never letting the battery drop below your arrival reserve.
- Home chargingSee the annual cost of home charging on the G11, G12 or G12w tariff, check whether your session fits the cheap night window, and work out how fast a specific wallbox pays for itself.
- EV vs petrolCompare the break-even point of an EV against a comparable combustion car, based on purchase price and energy/fuel cost — an energy-cost comparison, not a full cost of ownership.
- Charging subscription — is it worth it?Compare the monthly cost of public charging on a subscription and pay-as-you-go.
