Fuel consumption
IThe fuel consumption values shown in
the following table were established
based on homologation tests
prescribed by the specific European
Directives.
The test procedures adopted for fuel
consumption measuring are the
following:
– urban cycle: this includes cold
starting followed by simulation of an
urban route;
– extra-urban cycle: this includes
frequent accelerating in all gears,
simulating use of the vehicle on
extra-urban routes; the speed varies
between 0 and 120 Km/h;
– combined cycle: this is calculated by
considering a route consisting of
about 37% urban cycle and 63%
extra-urban cycle.
Fuel consumption following the 1999/100/EC directive
(liters per 100 km)
WARNING The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style,
general condition of the vehicle, set-up/equipment/accessories in the car, use of
the air conditioning system, car load, roof rack and other items or situations
which may negatively affect the car aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to
consumption ratios differing from the reported ones.
