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 · 87 kWh Evolve (2024)
Electric SUV-coupé on the Alliance CMF-EV platform (shared with Renault Megane E-Tech and the third Leaf). The 87 kWh version reaches WLTP 533 km, system power 242 hp, DC charging up to 130 kW (manufacturer figures). Boot 466 l, braked towing weight 1,500 kg. Owners report substantially less range in winter (public forums, not measured by us).
Profile · ZE2, derde generatie (2025+)
Third-generation Leaf (ZE2), now an SUV-coupé on the CMF-EV platform of the Alliance (shared with Ariya). Swaps CHAdeMO for CCS Combo and has liquid cooling of the battery, two historical pain points of the previous Leaf generations. Top version with 75 kWh battery reaches WLTP 604 km (manufacturer figure); 52 kWh entry has a lower range (version-dependent).
