The “Combined/weighted” fuel consumption/CO
2
figures are calculated from two test results: one when the battery is fully charged and the other when the battery is discharged.
The two test results are a weighted average, taking into account mileage range on battery power only, providing a figure in a variety of charge conditions. Extended range
achieved by 1.4 litre 16-valve VVT ECOTEC
®
petrol engine generating electricity.
