What owners say: Strong sales performance in key markets (second-best selling EV in UK early 2024, #1 in Norway and Denmark) with excellent lease appeal. Real-world range significantly underperforms WLTP claims (150-230 miles on motorways versus 315+ claimed; drops further with air conditioning).

What Owners Say
BalancedOwners Love
- Strong sales performance in key markets (second-best selling EV in UK early 2024, #1 in Norway and Denmark) with excellent lease appeal
- Spacious, comfortable interior with excellent rear legroom and well-designed cabin features like storage and entertainment systems
- Responsive driving dynamics with good handling that belies its weight, plus car-like agility for an SUV
Watch Out For
- Real-world range significantly underperforms WLTP claims (150-230 miles on motorways versus 315+ claimed; drops further with air conditioning)
- Poor efficiency compared to competitors; atrocious efficiency-to-battery-size ratio relative to rivals like Ioniq 5 and Model Y
- Rapid charging severely limited by thermal management issues requiring only 3-4 DC charges per 24 hours, and performance degrades significantly in cold weather
Owner Tips
- Look for aggressive lease deals and consider salary sacrifice schemes, which offer better value than outright purchase; aim for 24-month terms where pricing appears cheaper
- Install a home charging unit (like Easee One) and plan charging around home charger for daily use; limit long trips to 3-4 rapid charges per 24 hours with proper spacing
- Check real-world range reviews and videos (like Bjørn Nyland's testing) rather than WLTP figures; expect 3.5-4.2 mi/kWh in mixed driving, significantly less in winter or at highway speeds
