Fuel consumption and emission values in the table above are based on specific EU cycles5, that apply to cars with kerb weight in the basic version and without extra equipment. The car's weight may increase depending on equipment. This, as well as how heavily the car is loaded, increases fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
There are several reasons for increased fuel consumption compared with the table's values. Examples of this are:
The driver's driving style.
If the customer has specified wheels larger than those fitted as standard on the model's basic version, then rolling resistance increases.
High speed results in increased wind resistance.
Fuel quality, road and traffic conditions, weather and the condition of the car.
A combination of the above-mentioned examples can result in significantly improved consumption. For further information, please refer to the regulations referred to5.
Large deviations in fuel consumption may arise in a comparison with the EU driving cycles5 which are used in the certification of the car and on which the consumption figures in the table are based.
Note
Extreme weather conditions, driving with a trailer or driving at high altitudes in combination with fuel quality are factors that could affect the car's fuel consumption.
