Buying decision

EvCompass verdict

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

60.48 kWh of battery and 173 Wh/km of consumption give 350 km of real range, just above the 345 km median among C-segment hatchbacks.

A 110 kW DC peak means 36 min from 10 to 80%, and the 345 l boot is smaller than the group median of 385 l.

Best suited to

It makes sense to buy when 350 km of range is enough and charging speed becomes secondary.

Strong points

  • Real range of 350 km is higher than the 345 km median among C-segment hatchbacks.
  • A kerb weight of 1,733 kg is lower than the group median of 1,765.5 kg.

What to consider

  • Consumption of 173 Wh/km is higher than the 166 Wh/km median among C-segment hatchbacks.
  • The 110 kW DC charging peak is lower than the group median of 115 kW.
  • The 345 l boot is smaller than the group median of 385 l.

Real-world consumption

Mild weather: 151 Wh/km

Cold weather: 205 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.
