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 · E-Tech Electric 52 kWh (2024)
Compact city-focused EV on the AmpR-Small platform. WLTP around 410 km with the 52 kWh pack (manufacturer figure indicative); in winter comparable EVs report 20-30% less among owners (public forums not measured by us). DC charging up to about 100 kW.
Profile · MEB Entry, 155 kW / 51,7 kWh (2026-)
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. The indicative Dutch starting price is 24,990 euro and applies to the 37 kWh entry version with up to 329 km WLTP, so not to the 51.7 kWh version listed here. A starting price, not an offer.
