I am thinking they are going to squeeze maybe another 10 miles in range out of it due to the curved nose and sloped and swept tail. They need every mile of range they can get for a $60K car. My guess is they are trying to get it up to 220 miles. Makes it a tad more appealing when competing with cars at 250+. And my guess will make it closer to the ID.4 AWD range.

I thought EPA was 210..

I don’t see that there was an EPA number listed, the web site says range to be released closer to sale.

every article i've read says 210.

Oh well, I would have thought the art improvements might have helped them more than 2 miles, but I guess not.

same platform.. same battery pack.. not THAT much more aerodynamic than the XC40 Recharge, so I'm not surprised it's only 210. Software updates MIGHT be able to squeeze out a few more miles per charge, but I doubt you'll ever see 250 on this vehicle.

art improvments? WLTP is only 20 km more so I think 210 miles sounds right.
