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

Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · MV, eerste-generatie (2023+)

Kia EV9

Large electric SUV on 800V platform with six or seven seats, 99.8 kWh battery. WLTP range 563 km for the rear-wheel-drive Long Range (manufacturer figure). DC charging peak around 210 kW; a 10-80% charge takes about 24 minutes (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Braked towing weight 2,500 kg. Indicative from-price; check the official configurator for the current figure.

Profile · Single Motor Extended Range (2024)

Volvo EX30

Compact electric SUV on the SEA platform (shared with Smart #1). WLTP 476 km with the 64 kWh pack (Extended Range, NMC). Strong point is the acceleration; point of attention is the modest boot (318 l) for the class. Owners report in practice 15-25% less range in cold weather (public forums, not measured by us).
