WLTP is the official EU test cycle; real-world figures are usually a bit lower. See the guide on WLTP versus real-world consumption.

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.
Profile · Electric 65 (facelift 2024)
Budget EV in the A-segment. Small 26.8 kWh pack, WLTP around 225 km (manufacturer figure, indicative), substantially less in winter and on the motorway (public forums, not measured by us). DC charging limited to about 30 kW, power 65 hp. Deliberately a city car, not a long-distance machine.
Profile · eerste generatie (2024+, EU-debuut 2025)
Compact A-segment EV on a new dedicated platform, on sale in the EU since early 2025. Two battery options: Standard Range 42 kWh (about 300 km WLTP) and Long Range 49 kWh (about 355 km WLTP, manufacturer figure). DC charging up to about 120 kW; 10-80% takes around 30 minutes per Hyundai (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Four seats as standard, 351 l boot, V2L on board. Indicative from-price for the Netherlands; check the official configurator for the current figure.
