338 L behind row three and 908 L behind row two
600 km WLTP range

Conservative planning allowance derived from the published WLTP figure; it is not a guaranteed real-world result.

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.
