Pros

What works in its favour

Best for drivers who want a big-battery electric saloon with fast charging and a heat pump at mid-market money, and who can live with a modest boot for the car's size.

  • Drivers who want a long-range electric saloon rather than another SUV — 77 kWh usable and 560 km WLTP in a 4.9-metre liftback, from £38,995 in the UK and €40,990 in the Netherlands
  • Motorway commuters — DC charging peaks at 200 kW and EV Database times 10-80% at 25 minutes, with a standard heat pump and a 540 km combined estimate in mild weather
  • Families who still need to tow or carry — 1,500 kg braked towing, a 337-litre boot (1,074 litres folded) plus a 72-litre frunk, and Euro NCAP 2025 scores of 93% for adults and 93% for children

Cons

What to watch before you buy

  • 560 km is the WLTP figure. EV Database's own real-world estimate is 470 km, falling to 340 km on the highway in cold weather.
  • The boot is small for a car this long: 337 litres under the liftback, plus a 72-litre frunk. Fold the rear seats for 1,074 litres.
  • On a common 50 kW charger, 10-80% takes 68 minutes; the 25-minute time needs a 150 kW-plus charger (31 minutes on a 150 kW unit). EV Database records no Plug & Charge support.
  • This is the MY27 78 kWh car, on sale in the UK since July 2026. It replaced the earlier 68.8 kWh and 80 kWh Long Range versions, so check which battery a used or pre-registered car has before you buy.
  • It sits on Changan's EPA1 platform, shared with the Deepal SL03, which EV Database lists as not EV-dedicated. The Euro NCAP star count is not recorded here because EV Database shows it only as an image; the percentage scores are from the same page.
