EvCompass verdict

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

43.8 kWh and 172 Wh/km give 255 km of real range, practically the 257.5 km median among B-segment hatchbacks.

Its 97 kW DC peak is higher than the group median of 85 kW — a pleasant surprise for this body size. AC is the weak side: the onboard charger is 7.4 kW and 10 to 80% takes 31 min.

Best suited to

A car for a city driver who occasionally heads further out: 255 km of range and a 97 kW charging peak.

Strong points

  • A 97 kW DC charging peak is higher than the 85 kW median among B-segment hatchbacks.
  • A kerb weight of 1,491 kg is lower than the group median of 1,530 kg.
  • A braked towing capacity of 550 kg is higher than the group median of 0 kg.

What to consider

  • Consumption of 172 Wh/km is higher than the 161 Wh/km median among B-segment hatchbacks.
  • 0 to 100 km/h takes 11.5 s, and torque stands at 120 Nm.

Real-world consumption

Mild weather: 151 Wh/km

Cold weather: 204 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.
