Its 115 combined MPGe rating and 28.85 kWh per 100 miles of energy use provide efficiency figures.
Who it suits
This EV suits a driver who wants a small SUV and can plan around a 221-mile EPA range. Front-wheel drive keeps the drivetrain layout straightforward for everyday use.
Trade-offs
The Standard Range battery is rated for 221 miles, so longer trips require more charging planning than a vehicle with a longer range.
