A solid family car, but watch the winter range · 4/5
Anonieme eigenaar · 2026-04-30
I've been driving it as a family car for just over a year now. Comfortable, spacious, and on summer days I easily get 450+ km. In winter it's clearly less, count on ~330 km in freezing temperatures. After the update the software is a lot snappier than I feared based on the forums.

Roomy family SUV, winter consumption and software a known issue · 4/5
Anonieme eigenaar · 2026-01-20
Family with two children, a mix of school, sport and long trips to relatives, around 21,000 km per year. Space is the strong point: 543 l boot plus a flat loading floor swallows two bikes after folding down the rear seat. Consumption in spring around 17 kWh/100km, in January with the heating and motorway toward 21-22, which is about 25% above the WLTP figure and the range drops accordingly. For daily use no problem because I charge at home, but on the long winter trip I do have to plan an extra charging stop. The infotainment was slow on delivery, noticeably better after the 2024 update, but the touch sliders below the screen remain awkward and are not illuminated at night.

Comfortable on the motorway, the controls remain the downside · 3/5
Anonieme eigenaar · 2026-03-22
Lots of motorway kilometres for work, around 34,000 km per year, charging both at home and on the road. On long distances this is a pleasant car: quiet cabin, comfortably sprung and stable at high speed. DC charging up to around 175 kW keeps the stops short enough. Consumption at 120-130 km/h sits around 19-20 kWh/100km, a bit lower in summer, so the real-world range is below the 550 km WLTP. The persistent downside is the controls: the touch sliders and the slower menu demand more attention than a regular button, and despite the software update the system sometimes responds with a delay on a cold start. Build quality is tidy, no rattles after just over a year. Back once for a charging-software update under warranty.
