Which Exeed Sterra ES version to buy
There is only the 1 generation (key 8015), sedan body, five modifications, all electric, all 1-speed Automatic, all CO2 0. No restyling is listed. Choice is not between generations; it is between battery size, drive, and power.

Buy 79.9 kWh AT 4WD if the numbers that matter are power and 0–100. It is 480 hp (353 kW) and 663 Nm versus 313 hp / 425 Nm on both larger rear-drive packs and 252 hp / 356 Nm on both smaller ones. Versus 79.9 kWh AT it adds 167 hp and 238 Nm on the same 79.9 kWh nameplate, cuts 0–100 from 5.6 s to 3.7 s (1.9 s), raises top speed from 200 to 210 km/h, and switches RWD to AWD. Kerb weight is 2100 kg, 60 kg above the 2040 kg 79.9 kWh AT. Weight per horsepower is 2100 / 480 = 4.38 kg/hp — the lowest of the five.
Buy 97.7 kWh AT if you want the largest pack without AWD and without the 480 hp motor set. It matches 79.9 kWh AT on 313 hp, 230 kW, 425 Nm, 5.6 s, 200 km/h, RWD, Automatic 1, kerb 2040 kg. The only measured difference in the table is battery: 97.7 versus 79.9 kWh (+17.8 kWh). Range and consumption are not measured, so the extra pack is the extra you are buying, not a proven extra kilometres.
Buy 79.9 kWh AT if 313 hp and 5.6 s are enough and you do not need AWD or the 97.7 pack. Same power, torque, times, drive, gearbox, and 2040 kg as 97.7 kWh AT. Same battery as 79.9 kWh AT 4WD without the second-axle power.
Buy 66.4 kWh AT if 252 hp is the ceiling you want and you prefer the larger of the two 252 hp packs. Versus 60.7 kWh AT it keeps 252 hp, 185 kW, 356 Nm, 200 km/h, RWD, Automatic 1, but 0–100 is 7.1 s versus 7.4 s (−0.3 s) at 2040 kg versus 1870 kg (+170 kg). You pay 170 kg and gain 5.7 kWh and 0.3 s.
Buy 60.7 kWh AT if kerb weight is the lever. At 1870 kg it is 170 kg below 66.4 kWh AT, 79.9 kWh AT, and 97.7 kWh AT, and 230 kg below 79.9 kWh AT 4WD. Power matches 66.4 kWh AT (252 hp, 356 Nm); 0–100 is the slowest at 7.4 s. Weight per horsepower is 1870 / 252 = 7.42 kg/hp, better than 66.4 kWh AT at 2040 / 252 = 8.10 kg/hp, worse than the 313 hp pair at 2040 / 313 = 6.52 kg/hp.
Specs and engine comparison (all five versions)
Displacement, cylinders, cylinder layout, and boost are not measured on every Sterra ES version (electric). Fuel is Electro. Gearbox is Automatic, 1 speed.
| Version | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 97.7 kWh AT | 313 | 230 | 425 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic 1 | RWD |
| 79.9 kWh AT | 313 | 230 | 425 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic 1 | RWD |
| 79.9 kWh AT 4WD | 480 | 353 | 663 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic 1 | AWD |
| 66.4 kWh AT | 252 | 185 | 356 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic 1 | RWD |
| 60.7 kWh AT | 252 | 185 | 356 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic 1 | RWD |
Power bands: 480 hp is 167 hp above 313 (+53%) and 228 hp above 252 (+90%). Torque: 663 Nm is 238 Nm above 425 (+56%) and 307 Nm above 356 (+86%). Power per litre is not measured (no displacement).
0-100, top speed, mpg
Consumption (city, highway, combined) is not measured on any version. There is no mpg figure to rank. CO2 is 0 on all five.
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed | City / highway / combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| 97.7 kWh AT | 5.6 s | 200 km/h | not measured / not measured / not measured |
| 79.9 kWh AT | 5.6 s | 200 km/h | not measured / not measured / not measured |
| 79.9 kWh AT 4WD | 3.7 s | 210 km/h | not measured / not measured / not measured |
| 66.4 kWh AT | 7.1 s | 200 km/h | not measured / not measured / not measured |
| 60.7 kWh AT | 7.4 s | 200 km/h | not measured / not measured / not measured |
79.9 kWh AT 4WD is 1.9 s quicker than the 313 hp pair and 3.4–3.7 s quicker than the 252 hp pair. Top speed is unique at 210 km/h; the other four share 200 km/h. 66.4 kWh AT versus 60.7 kWh AT is only 0.3 s; the 170 kg gap does not produce a large sprint gap in the measured 0–100.
Dimensions, weight, clearance
Gross weight, ground clearance, tank, and wheel sizes are not measured on any version. Independent, spring suspension front and rear, Ventilated disc front brakes, Disc rear brakes — identical wording on all five.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Clearance | Tank | Wheels |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 97.7 kWh AT | 2040 kg | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| 79.9 kWh AT | 2040 kg | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| 79.9 kWh AT 4WD | 2100 kg | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| 66.4 kWh AT | 2040 kg | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| 60.7 kWh AT | 1870 kg | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
Three versions sit on the same 2040 kg kerb: 97.7 kWh AT, 79.9 kWh AT, 66.4 kWh AT. The 97.7 pack does not add measured mass versus 79.9 or 66.4 in this table. AWD adds 60 kg versus the 2040 kg cars. 60.7 kWh AT is the outlier at 1870 kg.
Weight per hp again: 4.38 (79.9 kWh AT 4WD), 6.52 (97.7 kWh AT and 79.9 kWh AT), 7.42 (60.7 kWh AT), 8.10 (66.4 kWh AT). The 252 hp / 2040 kg 66.4 kWh AT is the heaviest per horsepower; the 252 hp / 1870 kg 60.7 kWh AT is the better 252 hp mass match.
Generations: what changed
Only 1 generation exists (from 1 April 2023, stop not measured). All five versions share that start date. There is no second generation to compare for chassis, body, or restyle. The spread inside the generation is the whole choice: four RWD, one AWD; three battery sizes at 313 hp (97.7 and 79.9) versus two at 252 hp (66.4 and 60.7); one dual-output 79.9 kWh line (RWD 313 hp vs AWD 480 hp).
What the extra specification buys (arithmetic only)
- 97.7 kWh AT minus 79.9 kWh AT: +17.8 kWh, 0 hp, 0 Nm, 0 s, 0 km/h, 0 kg. Extra is pack size only.
- 79.9 kWh AT 4WD minus 79.9 kWh AT: +167 hp, +238 Nm, −1.9 s to 100, +10 km/h, +60 kg, AWD instead of RWD, same 79.9 kWh label.
- 79.9 kWh AT 4WD minus 97.7 kWh AT: +167 hp, +238 Nm, −1.9 s, +10 km/h, +60 kg, AWD, −17.8 kWh. You trade the largest pack for the only AWD and the only 480 hp.
- 66.4 kWh AT minus 60.7 kWh AT: +5.7 kWh, 0 hp, 0 Nm, −0.3 s, 0 km/h, +170 kg.
- 313 hp RWD (97.7 or 79.9) minus 66.4 kWh AT: +61 hp, +69 Nm, −1.5 s (5.6 vs 7.1), same 2040 kg and 200 km/h.
- 313 hp RWD minus 60.7 kWh AT: +61 hp, +69 Nm, −1.8 s (5.6 vs 7.4), +170 kg.
Reliability, known problems, and prices are not in the data — not measured.
Short pick
Need AWD and the fastest 0–100: 79.9 kWh AT 4WD. Need the biggest listed battery on RWD at 313 hp: 97.7 kWh AT. Same 313 hp and 5.6 s without the 97.7 pack: 79.9 kWh AT. Stay at 252 hp and take more pack: 66.4 kWh AT. Stay at 252 hp and take the lightest kerb: 60.7 kWh AT.
