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 · facelift (2020-2023, 32 kWh)
Compact city EV on the A0 platform, shared with the Skoda Citigo-e iV and Seat Mii electric. The 2020 facelift brought a larger 32 kWh net battery pack and around 260 km WLTP (manufacturer figure, indicative). VW ended production in 2023. Reference model for spec look-up; no current new price. Owners report clearly less range in winter (public forums, not measured by us).
