Buying decision

EvCompass verdict

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

88 kWh of battery and 198 Wh/km of consumption give 445 km of real-world range.

The DC peak is 310 kW, so 10 to 80% takes 23 min. Kerb weight is 2,315 kg, and 0 to 100 km/h takes 6.5 s.

Best suited to

It makes sense where a 310 kW charging peak matters and towing stays under 1,500 kg.

Strong points

  • Consumption of 198 Wh/km is lower than the 209 Wh/km median among E-segment SUVs.
  • The DC charging peak of 310 kW is higher than the group median of 173 kW.
  • A kerb weight of 2,315 kg is lower than the group median of 2,565 kg.

What to consider

  • The braked towing capacity of 1,500 kg is lower than the group median of 1,800 kg.
  • The 508 l boot is smaller than the group median of 590 l.

Real-world consumption

Mild weather: 174 Wh/km

Cold weather: 232 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.
