Find chargers on the map →Who it suits
Small families and commuters who want an electric SUV at a low price. You get a 51 kWh battery, 345 km claimed range (about 240 km at highway speed), 11 kW AC charging and a 400 litre boot, with an 8 year / 200 000 km battery warranty.
Who should look elsewhere
Frequent long-distance drivers. DC charging is limited to 65 kW (about 28 minutes for 30 to 80%), so long trips take more stops than in the faster-charging cars. If you cannot charge at home, consider the Atto 2 DM-i plug-in hybrid instead.
