The car's range estimate does NOT tell you the battery capacity.  It is an ESTIMATE of how far you'll be able to drive, and it's based on many factors which influence the number you see.   These include your recent driving habits, the air temperature, whether or not you're using heating or A/C, etc. etc. etc.


To get an idea of your battery capacity, charge the car to 100% so that the energy usage numbers on the Infotainment screen reset to zero - then drive it to as close to empty as you can.   Before you plug in to recharge again have a look at the kWh consumed - that'll tell you how much energy came out of the battery to get you that distance.
