Performance Verdict
Identical power output to the larger battery variant, offering the same nimble urban performance, though range is the primary differentiator.
Fuel Economy
Highly efficient for very short urban trips, but the reduced 8 kWh battery capacity significantly limits its overall practical range compared to the 14.4 kWh model.
