The values in the table above for fuel con-
sumption and CO
emissions are based on
2
special drive cycles (see below). The car's
weight may increase depending on its equip-
ment level. Together with how heavily the car
is loaded, this affects fuel consumption and
CO
emissions. According to WLTP, every car
2
has unique fuel consumption and CO
sion values depending on how the car is
equipped. These values range between the
low value and high value in the table above. In
many markets, you can find your car's unique
fuel consumption and CO
2
the car's registration document.
There are several reasons for fuel consumption
that is higher than the values in the table.
Examples of these include:
If the car is equipped with extra equip-
ment that affects its weight.
Driving style.
698
If the customer chooses wheels other than
those mounted as standard on the basic
version of the model, this could increase
rolling resistance.
High speed causes increased air resis-
tance.
Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions,
emis-
2
weather and the condition of the car.
A combination of the examples above could
increase consumption considerably.
There may be huge deviations in fuel con-
emission values in
sumption if comparing to the drive cycle pro-
files (see below), which are used in the certifi-
cation of the car and on which consumption
figures in the table are based. For further infor-
mation, please refer to the referenced regula-
tions.
NOTE
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a
trailer or driving at high altitudes, in combi-
nation with poorer fuel quality than recom-
mended, are factors that considerably
increase the car's fuel consumption.
WLTP standard
From and including 1 September 2018, a new
standard was introduced for calculating con-
sumption values in the car. The WLTP stand-
ard (Worldwide Harmonised Light-Duty Vehi-
cles Test Procedure) represents the average
driving conditions for everyday driving. In
comparison with the previous standard
(NEDC), WLTP takes into account more varied
traffic situations and speeds, but also equip-
ment and weight classes. Optional equipment
that affects consumption is deactivated during
testing, e.g. air conditioning, seat heating, etc.
The new standard should provide more realis-
