FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures shown below have been calculated using a standard testing
procedure (the new EC test procedure from Directive 93/116/EC), and produced in
accordance with The Passenger Car Fuel Consumption (Amendment) Order 1996. Under
normal use, a car’s actual fuel consumption figures may differ from those achieved through
the test procedure, depending on driving technique, road and traffic conditions,
environmental factors, vehicle load and condition.
Fuel consumption figures
Urban cycle
The urban test cycle is carried out from a cold start and consists of a series of accelerations,
decelerations and periods of steady speed driving and engine idling. The maximum speed
attained during the test is 31 mph (50 km/h) with an average speed of 12 mph (19 km/h).
Extra-urban cycle
The extra urban test cycle is carried out immediately after the urban test. Approximately
half of the test comprises steady-speed driving, while the remainder consists of a series of
accelerations, decelerations and engine idling. The maximum test speed is 75 mph (120
km/h) and the average speed 39 mph (63 km/h). The test is carried out over a distance of
4.3 miles (7 km).
Combined
The combined figure is an average of the urban and extra-urban test cycle results, which
has been weighted to take account of the different distances covered during the two tests.
NOTE: These figures should not be compared with figures produced using the ECE/EEC procedure previously
required by The Passenger Car Fuel Consumption Order 1983. Because of the changes in test procedure, even the
urban figures would differ if the same car were subjected to both tests.
