Drivers who want a quick, long-range premium compact electric SUV with all-wheel drive. The 79 kWh battery gives up to 535 km WLTP (about 370 km at highway speed), it makes 300 kW, charges on DC at up to 207 kW (about 32 minutes for 10 to 80%), and the battery warranty is 8 years / 160 000 km.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone who wants the lowest price or a low-slung car. At around R1.3 million it costs more than bigger-battery rivals. The range figures come from European data (the SA listing quotes 478 km without naming the test), and it is sold in South Africa as the XC40 Recharge.
