Maybe you should have done the tests at 80kph and 100kph and a pure city driving test as well. It is not really for motorway driving, though it's interesting to note that when one drives a small vehicle to its limits, it's no more economical than a larger heavier EV.
Wow, this really shows the difference between marketing and real life. I had high hopes for this car, but those range numbers are really bad. I was expectin atleast double, but reality is what it is. Still usefull car if you don't travel long distance or any highway speeds.
one more thing, it seems they keep a lot of battery in reserve... The car actually goes a few more km after 0%... I don't know why they made it so it states 1% when it still has 30km of range left
137 kilometers of range on a brand new battery just doesn't cut, however you look at it. Small car with petrol engine, equiped with LPG is still better. Unless you're commuting to your work and back home. Yet, you can pay less and get a new car that can carry you to another city, get refueled instantly, and while driving it, you don't have to constantly peek at your precious little number of kilometers left. Good attempt by Dacia, but this is not a replacement for small petrol powered car, rather a replacement of a tiny segment of market.
Guessing it doesn't have a heat pump and has a small battery, if it's the older Ionic and not Ionic 5. I think the new one has a heat pump. Dacia definitely doesn't have it as it doesn't even have cruise control.

you can get 300km range but you would have to drive at 60km/h without AC xD

That's because deep discharging damages the battery.

Thanks for the data and the link to my spreadsheet.
I wonder if it handles minus temperature. My hyundai Ionic drops about 50% range in -15 temp

and here I was wondering if it this thing could help me on my 170km (total) highway commute
