EvCompass verdict

EvCompassHow we calculate →

Its 415 km range is below the 495 km median for segment E liftbacks, so the car covers shorter legs between stops. Its 160 kW DC peak is below the class median of 200 kW, extending stops at rapid chargers.

Winter range is about 319 km, 23.1% less than the 415 km in mild conditions. Annual energy costs about PLN 4,100, and each 100 km costs PLN 27.2.

The family includes versions with larger batteries and longer range, but they cost more. The 620 l boot exceeds the 532 l median for segment E liftbacks and holds more luggage than a typical car in this class.

Best suited to

V2L at 3.3 kW AC can power equipment while parked, so the car can also serve as a power source at a campsite.

What to consider

  • Its 1,260 kg towing limit is below the 1,500 kg median for segment E liftbacks, limiting the choice of heavier trailers.
