Buying decision
EvCompass verdict
The main arguments drawn from approved data and the EvCompass editorial summary.
67 kWh and 203 Wh/km give 330 km of real range, while 330 Nm moves 2,023 kg to 100 km/h in 7.4 s.
A 136 kW DC peak and 26 min from 10 to 80% set a steady rhythm, joined by a 450 l boot and 1,500 kg towing capacity.
Best suited to
You choose it when 203 Wh/km matters more than 330 km of range and a 450 l boot fits the job.
Strong points
- A kerb weight of 2,023 kg is lower than the 2,096 kg median among C-segment SUVs.
- A towing capacity of 1,500 kg is higher than the 1,200 kg median in this group.
What to consider
- Real range of 330 km is lower than the 390 km median among C-segment SUVs.
- Consumption of 203 Wh/km is higher than the 181 Wh/km median in this group.
- The 450 l boot is smaller than the 520 l median in this group.

Real-world consumption
Mild weather: 179 Wh/km
Cold weather: 239 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.

Tools
Calculate for this car
- Charging costPick a model from the catalogue, set the charge window, and compare a real operator price with one you type in yourself.
- Charging timePick a model from the catalogue, set the charge window, and see how long the session actually takes at a given charging post's power.
- Real rangeSee how temperature, speed, occupancy, a roof box and winter tyres change a model's real-world range compared with its WLTP rating.
- Trip plannerPlan charging stops for a route — see how many stops, how much time and how much it costs to get there while never letting the battery drop below your arrival reserve.
- Home chargingSee the annual cost of home charging on the G11, G12 or G12w tariff, check whether your session fits the cheap night window, and work out how fast a specific wallbox pays for itself.
- EV vs petrolCompare the break-even point of an EV against a comparable combustion car, based on purchase price and energy/fuel cost — an energy-cost comparison, not a full cost of ownership.
- Charging subscription — is it worth it?Compare the monthly cost of public charging on a subscription and pay-as-you-go.
