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 · Premium RWD (2024-, SEA)
Sleek coupe-SUV on the Geely SEA platform, shared with the Smart #1 and the Volvo EX30. Smart is a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Geely. The Premium RWD has 272 hp and a 62 kWh net battery, WLTP around 455 km. DC charging peaks at 150 kW.
Profile · Single Motor Extended Range (2024)
Compact electric SUV on the SEA platform (shared with Smart #1). WLTP 476 km with the 64 kWh pack (Extended Range, NMC). Strong point is the acceleration; point of attention is the modest boot (318 l) for the class. Owners report in practice 15-25% less range in cold weather (public forums, not measured by us).
