WLTP is the official EU test cycle; real-world figures are usually a bit lower. See the guide on WLTP versus real-world consumption.

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.
Profile · IV (BEV, 44 kWh)
Electric ë-C3 on the Stellantis Smart Car platform, presented in October 2023 and on sale in Europe from 2024. LFP battery of 44 kWh, WLTP around 320 km (manufacturer figure, indicative), motor 83 kW (113 hp), DC charging up to 100 kW. Shares the body with the petrol C3 (PureTech 100).

Volkswagen's entry EV on the MEB Entry platform, in production since June 2026 in Pamplona, Spain. Five-door B-segment hatchback with front-wheel drive. The specs above belong to the 155 kW version with 51.7 kWh net battery: WLTP up to 454 km, DC charging up to 105 kW and 10-80% in 24 minutes (manufacturer figure, indicative). Boot 441 litres, braked towing weight 1,200 kg.
