It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 210 km/h (131 mph), making it competitive within its class.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 111.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 107.0 kWh, providing a 4.0 kWh buffer (3.6%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 375 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.
This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 561 to 552 km (349-343 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range. The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 19.1 kWh/100 km for the base model and 19.4 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 561 km (349 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 19.1 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 250 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 67 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 32 minutes with an average charging speed of 140 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 1% to 52%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 137 kW, with each charging session taking about 24 minutes and 51 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 9 minutes, needing two charging stops from 1% to 54%, totaling 50 minutes of charging time.
