What Owners Say
PositiveOwners Love
- Owners consistently praise the range: 250-350 miles in real driving, around 4.5-5 miles per kWh in summer and about 3 in winter.
- Cabin quality, space and comfort receive ratings well above expectations for the size and price.
- A comfortable ride combines with easy, quiet driving.
Watch Out For
- Rapid charging trails some rivals: owners report peaks around 100-135 kW, followed by a tapering charging curve.
- Safety and driver-assistance systems sound alerts too frequently, and some are overly sensitive.
- A few owners report home AC charging falling to 1.4-3.4 kW or other charging problems, with lengthy dealer diagnosis.
Owner Tips
- Spend the first week setting up the infotainment and turning off the driver-assistance alerts you don't want.
- Plan longer winter journeys around expected efficiency of 2.8-3.5 miles per kWh.
- If home charging becomes slow, record the charger’s figures and test another charger before visiting the dealer.
