Longest-range electric cars under €60,000

Ranked on the WLTP sticker, this is easy. Ranked on what somebody measured, it gets more interesting, and one car has no ADAC test of its own.

These are five long-range cars I can price, not a survey of every EV on sale. Prices are German list prices, checked 2 November 2026, without grants or dealer offers, and other countries differ. Renault's and Polestar's pages don't state VAT. Test results are ADAC's, and I haven't driven any of these.

Rated, then measured

WLTP is a rating from the maker, so the second column is marketing with rules attached. The ADAC column isn't uniform either. ADAC brought in a new test procedure in 2026 and says so in its EV4 report, so the 2023 and 2025 results came from a different method. Treat a gap of a few km across those years as noise.

That near-tie at the top

ADAC measured the Polestar at 17.5 kWh/100 km and 530 km in 2023, against a rating of 655 km at the time. It measured the Hyundai at 17.0 kWh/100 km and 532 km this year. Those two lines look level, and they're the least reliable comparison in the table: different years, different methods.

The Hyundai's clear edge shows up at the charger. ADAC measured a peak of 265 kW and 18 minutes from 10 to 80%. Polestar quotes 28 min for the same job, and Kia quotes 31 min. On a long trip, that matters more than a few km of range.

What the range costs you

Every car here gives something up.

• Ioniq 6: ADAC measured 405 l of boot and calls the opening small. Rear headroom is limited too. It's a car for two adults and two small children, I'd say, and 4,925 mm is a lot to park.
• Polestar 2: ADAC measured 340 l to the shelf, on a body only 4,606 mm long.
• EV4 Fastback: Kia's 490 l is generous, though towing stops at 1,000 kg.
• Scenic: ADAC's boot measurement on the earlier car is 315 l, and it measured 20.6 kWh/100 km. It's the thirstiest here on ADAC's figures. It costs the least.
• ID.7 Tourer: It's 4,961 mm long, so check the parking. VW's own spread for this car is 500 to 588 km, depending on spec, and the top number is the one in the table.

How I'd choose

If I did 600 km days with two adults aboard, I'd buy the Ioniq 6. If I mostly charged at home and wanted the sticker range for a few long trips each year, I'd save the money and buy the EV4 Fastback. A family would look at the ID.7 Tourer or the Scenic. Anyone towing should note the Polestar and Hyundai take 1,500 kg and 1,500 kg.

None of these figures hold in the cold. ADAC's Ioniq 5 report spells out that its own range number applies with no snow or frost. Before you plan a January trip around any number above, read how much range an EV loses in winter. The WLTP explainer covers why the sticker runs high in the first place.
