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 · Highland (2024)
The Highland update (2024) brought a quieter cabin, longer-travel suspension and a revised interior. Strong on charging speed and software updates. Indicative starting price; check the official configurator for the current figure.
Profile · 2024
Family SUV on the MEB platform. 550 km WLTP, 77 kWh, 286 hp; braked towing weight 1,200 kg. Infotainment was slow at launch, partly resolved with the 2024 software update. Owners report winter consumption 20-25% above WLTP (public forums, n≈21; not measured by us).
