(i) The results do not express or imply any guarantee of the fuel consumption of a particular car as there are inevitable differences between individual cars of the same model. Additionally, driving style, traffic conditions, as well as the age and mileage and standard of maintenance will affect a car’s fuel consumption.

(ii) The Urban fuel consumption figure is based on typical city driving, including starting the car from cold. The Extra Urban figure is based on typical motorway driving and cruising. The Combined figure averages the consumption across both cycles.

(iii) Unbraked towing weight must not exceed 50% of kerb weight up to a maximum of 700 kg.

NotesThe weight of the vehicle will influence the level of CO2 emitted. As a result, vehicles with higher levels of specification and factory fit options may emit higher levels of CO2.

A weighbridge must be used to determine specific weights.Data valid for manual transmission unless specified.Gt = Geartronic Automatic Transmission.P/shift = Powershift AutomaticAll measurements in mm.

The Max. output figures are quoted in PS (Pferdestärke), which is the metric equivalent of brake horsepower.
