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 · facelift (2020-2023, 32 kWh)
Compact city EV on the A0 platform, shared with the Skoda Citigo-e iV and Seat Mii electric. The 2020 facelift brought a larger 32 kWh net battery pack and around 260 km WLTP (manufacturer figure, indicative). VW ended production in 2023. Reference model for spec look-up; no current new price. Owners report clearly less range in winter (public forums, not measured by us).
