Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Long daily commute (>50 km/day) without range anxiety.

Less suitable for

Regular family use with bulky luggage. The space and boot are sport-calibrated, not utility. A sedan or SUV from the same manufacturer would be more practical daily.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is WLTP range, the Audi A6 Sportback e-tron quattro 315 kW (1st with 730 km) takes the lead. If the priority is DC charge power, the Audi RS e-tron GT (1st with 320 kW) takes the lead.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
