Fuel consumption
The fuel consumption values shown in
the following table were established
based on homologation tests
prescribed by specific European
Directives.
The test procedures adopted for fuel
consumption measuring are the
following:
– urban cycle: this test begins with a
cold start, followed by simulation of
an urban route;
– extra-urban cycle: this test involves
frequent accelerations in all gears,
simulating use of the vehicle on
routes outside urban areas; 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 2004/3/EC directive
(litres per 100 km)
WARNING: The type of route, traffic and weather conditions, driving style,
general condition of the vehicle, equipment/accessories in the vehicle, use of the
air conditioning system, vehicle load and other items or situations which may
negatively affect the vehicle aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to
consumption ratios differing from the indicated ones.
