Real range estimates The values shown here are estimates calculated by BEV-Database using WLTP data and the usable battery capacity of the car. Mild weather represents driving in roughly +20 +25 C without heavy use of climate control, while Cold weather reflects winter conditions with cabin heating. Highway assumes steady cruising at about 110 km/h. These figures are not official test results. Real-world range will vary depending on speed, temperature, traffic, road profile, payload, tyres and driving style.
