EvCompass verdict

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

58.3 kWh of battery and 167 Wh/km of consumption give 350 km of real range, just above the 345 km median among C-segment hatchbacks.

A 120 kW DC peak means 32 min from 10 to 80%. The boot holds 390 l, but the 1,867 kg kerb weight is higher than the 1,765.5 kg median in this group — the bill arrives in kilograms.

Best suited to

1,867 kg is the price for 7.1 s to 100 km/h and 390 l of boot in one body.

Strong points

  • Real range of 350 km is higher than the 345 km median among C-segment hatchbacks.
  • The 120 kW DC charging peak is higher than the group median of 115 kW.
  • The 390 l boot is larger than the 385 l median among C-segment hatchbacks.

What to consider

  • Consumption of 167 Wh/km is higher than the group median of 166 Wh/km.
  • A kerb weight of 1,867 kg is higher than the 1,765.5 kg median among C-segment hatchbacks.

Real-world consumption

Mild weather: 146 Wh/km

Cold weather: 198 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.

Method: we convert the car's baseline consumption and real-world range through fixed profile factors, adjusted for body style, weight, AWD and heat pump when those fields are available. Bands show simulation uncertainty, not a guaranteed result.
