Buying decision

EvCompass verdict

EvCompassHow we calculate →

The 180 kW DC peak exceeds the segment C SUV median of 150 kW, and the 1,500 kg towing limit is above the 1,200 kg median.

The 404-litre boot is below the 520-litre median, so trips with a trailer leave less room for belongings in the car. Winter range is 278 km, down 22.8% from milder weather.

Consumption of 186 Wh/km is close to the 181 Wh/km median, and energy costs about PLN 4,306 a year. Larger batteries in the EC40 family bring more range, and one also costs more; this version favours quick DC stops over the greatest range reserve.

EvCompassHow we calculate →

Best suited to

This version suits trips where both rapid charging stops and towing are part of the journey; families needing more range reserve should look to the larger battery.
