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 · E-Tech Electric 60 kWh (2024)
Compact EV hatchback on the CMF-EV platform. With the 60 kWh pack Renault states around 450 km WLTP (manufacturer figure indicative); in winter owners of comparable EVs report 20-30% less (public forums not measured by us). DC charging up to about 130 kW. No towing capacity.
