FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the tables below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by specific
European Directives.
The following procedures are used to measure the fuel consumption:
urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the vehicle;
extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the car: speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the extra-urban
cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control system, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that adversely
affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption values than those measured. The fuel consumption
will get more regular only after having driven the first 3000 km.
