Range

Your car's expected range is shown in the driver display and depends on several factors.
Range shown in the driver display

Your range is primarily related to your car's battery level and your driving practices but external conditions can also be a factor. The battery level and expected range are displayed in the driver display. The expected range is calculated based on your driving pattern, both current and historical.

The displayed range is separated into how far you can drive with your current state of charge as well as with your current fuel level. Depending on your driving style and your selected drive mode, your car prioritises using either the motor or the engine. The displayed range is an estimation and may differ accordingly.

Factors that affect your car's range

How you drive your car, which settings or features are active, weather conditions and traffic can all affect your car's range in different ways.
SpeedDriving at higher speeds drains the battery more.
Drive modeDepending on your selected drive mode, your car prioritises the motor and the engine differently.
City driving and traffic situationVarying your speed by frequently accelerating and braking will increase your battery consumption compared to keeping a constant speed.
Eco drivingKeep track of your driving with help of the range assistant to drive as economically as possible.
Outside temperatureThe outside temperature can affect your battery consumption and range.
Battery temperatureA cold battery is less efficient and needs more energy to be heated.
PreconditioningBy preconditioning your car, you can decrease the energy used to heat it up as well as the battery. This can be done in the climate settings.
Climate settingsWhich climate features are active and to what extent they affect your battery consumption.
Tyres and tyre pressureTyre condition and tyre pressure can affect your range.
Road condition and topographyThe condition of the road, along with any potential slopes, can affect your car's battery consumption.
TowingTowing a trailer demands more power from your car and will adversely affect battery consumption. This is relative to the type of trailer being towed.

Range in cold temperatures

Your car's battery can be negatively affected by cold temperatures. When the car has a cold battery, a snowflake appears next to the battery range. This indicates that the battery’s charge capacity and range are reduced compared to normal conditions. You can avoid this by always charging your car while it's parked, which can prove especially useful if you are parking in a cold climate.

When the battery warms up, for example during preconditioning of the car or when driving, the snowflake disappears from the driver display.

Factory reset and range value

After a factory reset, or when the car is delivered from the factory, the estimated range is based on a certified value. After driving your car for a while, the estimated range is instead based on your historical driving patterns.
