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

Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · NE, facelift (2024)

Hyundai Ioniq 5

Electric crossover on an 800V architecture, 2024 facelift with a larger 77.4 kWh battery and revised interior. DC charging peak around 233 kW is high for the class, a 10-80% charge takes about 18 minutes (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Braked towing weight 1,600 kg. Indicative from-price; check the official configurator for the current figure.

Profile · 64 kWh (SX2, 2023+)

Hyundai Kona Electric

Compact electric crossover, second generation. 514 km WLTP, 65.4 kWh. The DC charging peak at 102 kW is lower than at some competitors; a 10-80% charge therefore takes relatively long (manufacturer figure). Braked towing weight 750 kg.
