Range, battery, charging and efficiency
Their recorded consumption is identical at 6.8 L/100km. Test cycle, temperature, wheel size and charging conditions can materially affect these results, so only figures measured on the same basis should be treated as directly comparable.
Dimensions, cargo space and towing
