EvCompass verdict

EvCompassHow we calculate →

The 1,200 kg limit falls below the 1,800 kg median for segment E SUVs, so the EL6 falls short of most of its class for regular towing. AWD and 360 kW instead deliver a 4.5 s run to 100 km/h.

Winter range is 328 km against 435 km in milder conditions. Consumption of 207 Wh/km is at the 209 Wh/km class median; annual energy costs PLN 4,781.

A 10–80% DC session takes 29 min, and the family also includes a smaller-battery version with shorter range.

Best suited to

Choose it for power and AWD ahead of towing ability; if a trailer is a regular part of your trips, choose an SUV with a higher limit.

What to consider

  • A 1,200 kg towing limit against the 1,800 kg median for segment E SUVs.
