Buying decision

EvCompass verdict

DC power of 110 kW is well below the 250 kW median among segment D saloons, so replenishing energy on a rapid route takes longer than in most of the class. The 750 kg towing limit also falls short of the 1,000 kg median.

Winter range is about 282 km, leaving a shorter leg between charges than in mild conditions. The 485-litre boot is below the 542-litre median, limiting room for larger luggage.

Annual energy costs about PLN 3,897, at PLN 25.6 per 100 km. Consumption of 168 Wh/km exceeds the 153 Wh/km median, increasing energy cost relative to the class level.

EvCompassHow we calculate →

Best suited to

The SEAL Comfort suits local driving with infrequent towing and few rapid charges; long trips are better served by a saloon with more range and stronger DC.
