Best electric range
The catalogue WLTP is measured in ideal conditions: in Belgium, expect 20 to 30 % less on the motorway and in cold weather. We rank by estimated real range in mixed use, the only figure that matters for planning trips. Indicative estimates, to refine by version.

Our analysis
Why WLTP bends the truth (a little)
The WLTP range shown in the catalogue is measured on a standardised cycle, at mild temperature and moderate speed. On a Belgian motorway at 120 km/h, in winter with the heating on, an electric SUV commonly loses 20 to 30 % of that figure. A model claimed at 600 WLTP km often holds around 420 to 440 real km in mixed use, and clearly less on a long motorway trip in deep cold.
That is why we rank by estimated real range rather than WLTP. Efficiency (consumption in kWh/100 km) matters as much as battery size: a Tesla Model Y and a large premium SUV may carry a similar battery, but the one that consumes less will go further on the same charge — and cost less to recharge.
Range is not everything: think about charging
An SUV that holds 400 km but charges slowly can be less practical on a long trip than a 360 km model with fast charging. The 800-volt architecture of the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 recovers 10 to 80 % of the battery in under twenty minutes, versus thirty to forty minutes for many 400-volt rivals. On a Brussels-Marseille run, that difference adds up to hours.
The network matters too. Tesla keeps the advantage of a dense, reliable Supercharger network, now open to other brands. For those who mainly charge at home and drive little on the motorway, real range comes first; for a high-mileage driver, charging speed and charger availability weigh as much as the claimed kilometres.
