Fuel economy (EPA)
| Model years | Configuration | Combined | City | Highway | Electric range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | Electric motor · Single-speed · All-wheel drive | 20.5 kWh/100 km | 18.6–19.3 kWh/100 km | 21.5–22.4 kWh/100 km | 451 km |

Values are the official EPA label figures for each model year, shown as the lowest and highest value for the configuration. Electric models show energy use per 100 km. Real-world consumption depends on driving style, weather and load. Luggage and passenger volumes follow the EPA measuring method and can differ from the VDA figures used in Europe.
EU type-approval data
| Years | Powertrain | Power | Mass | Electric range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Electric | 50 kW (68 PS) | 1800–1885 kg | 431–592 km · 149–154 Wh/km |
| 2024–2025 | Electric | 150 kW (204 PS) | 1800–1885 kg | 435–604 km · 149–156 Wh/km |
Years are registration years. Each range runs from the 10th to the 90th percentile of the values reported for new registrations; it is not an average. Mass is the mass in running order. For electric cars the power is the type-approval net power, which can be lower than the peak power in brochures.
