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 · 64 kWh (SX2, 2023+)
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.
Profile · SK3 (2024+)
Compact electric crossover on a 400V architecture, first generation. WLTP range around 605 km for the Long Range with 81.4 kWh battery (manufacturer figure). DC charging peak around 128 kW, lower than on the 800V models EV6/Ioniq 5, which makes fast charging take longer. Braked towing weight 1,000 kg. Indicative from-price; check the official configurator for the current figure.
