It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.3 seconds and has a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph), aligning more closely with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 69.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 64.0 kWh, providing a 5.0 kWh buffer (7.2%) for battery protection. 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 476 to 471 km (296-293 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 13.4 kWh/100 km for the base model and 13.6 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.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 153 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 73 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 30 minutes with an average charging speed of 91 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 11% to 52%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 90 kW, with each charging session taking about 17 minutes and 25 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 220 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 8 hours and 5 minutes, requiring en 88 charging stops from 11% to 49%, totaling 1425 minutes of charging time.
