Buying decision

EvCompass verdict

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

75 kWh of battery and 205 Wh/km give 365 km of real range — less than the 425 km median among D-segment SUVs.

The 443 l boot is smaller than the 600 l median in this group, and a 110 kW DC peak means 37 min from 10 to 80%.

Best suited to

Its natural habitat is shorter distances: 365 km of range and 443 l of boot space.

What to consider

  • Real range of 365 km is lower than the 425 km median among D-segment SUVs.
  • Consumption of 205 Wh/km is higher than the 193 Wh/km median among D-segment SUVs.
  • The 443 l boot is smaller than the 600 l median in this group.
  • The braked towing capacity of 680 kg is lower than the 1,500 kg median in this group.

What it costs to use this car

Energy, scheduled servicing and seasonal tyres, priced from one transparent set of assumptions.

Calculation assumptions and sources

Real-world consumption

Mild weather: 181 Wh/km

Cold weather: 242 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.
