FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below
are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests
set down by relevant European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring
consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that
simulates urban use of the car;
❒extra-urban cycle: drive simulating the driving of the
car out of town with frequent acceleration in all
gears; the speed varies from 0 to 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: the weighting is around 37%
urban cycle and 63% extra-urban cycle.IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations,
weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of
the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, load, climate
control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air
drag may lead to different fuel consumption levels than
those measured.
Fuel consumption according to the current European directive (litres/100 km)
