The real-world range, however, may vary a little between 380-450 km for the 59 kWh, and 500-550 km for the 79 kWh variant, depending on the driver and the driving conditions.
However, the car does support DC charging, which helps it reach from 0 to 100% in just about 20-30 minutes using a standard 140kW charger. The car features single-pedal driving with some degenerative braking options, and it also has multiple drive modes to optimize the overall efficiency and performance.
