Buying decision

EvCompass verdict

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

29.8 kWh of battery and 170 Wh/km give 175 km of real range — less than the 257.5 km median among B-segment hatchbacks.

The 30 kW DC peak is lower than the 85 kW median in this group, so 10 to 80% takes 44 min. A kerb weight of 1,413 kg is lower than the 1,530 kg median.

Best suited to

It makes sense when the day fits inside 175 km and there is patience for a 44-minute stop.

Strong points

  • A kerb weight of 1,413 kg is lower than the 1,530 kg median among B-segment hatchbacks.

What to consider

  • Real range of 175 km is lower than the 257.5 km median among B-segment hatchbacks.
  • Consumption of 170 Wh/km is higher than the 161 Wh/km median among B-segment hatchbacks.
  • The 30 kW DC charging peak is lower than the 85 kW median in this group.

Real-world consumption

Mild weather: 149 Wh/km

Cold weather: 199 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.
