Specifications

The vehicle uses a 150 kW (201 hp), 310 N⋅m (230 lb⋅ft) electric motor, which allows the compact SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds.

The all-electric range is 410 km (250 mi) on the WLTP cycle, thanks to a 63-kWh battery.

In the Premium variant, which is slightly heavier but uses the same battery, the all-electric range is 400 km (250 mi) and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 7.8 seconds.[3]
