Buying decision

EvCompass verdict

The main arguments drawn from approved data and the EvCompass editorial summary.

An 18.8 kWh usable battery at 163 Wh/km gives 115 km of real range. 7.2 s to 100 km/h and 250 Nm animate a light 1,270 kg.

This discontinued version has a 47 kW DC peak and takes 21 min from 10 to 80%; the 260 l boot fits its limited scale.

Best suited to

Best suited to a compact job requiring 115 km of range and a 260 l boot from a 1,270 kg car.

Strong points

Kerb weight of 1,270 kg is lower than the 1,530 kg median among B-segment hatchbacks.

What to consider

Real range of 115 km is lower than the 257.5 km median among B-segment hatchbacks.
The 47 kW DC charging peak is lower than the 85 kW median in this group.

Calculation assumptions and sources

Real-world consumption

Mild weather: 139 Wh/km

Cold weather: 188 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.
