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 and
load conditions.

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 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 the extra-urban test cycle results, which has
been weighted to take account of the different distances covered during the two tests.
NOTE: These figuresshould not be compared with the figuresproduced using the ECE/EEC
procedure previouslyrequired by The Passenger Car Fuel Consumption Order 1983. Because of
the changes in test procedure, even the urban figures would differ if the samecar were subjected
to both tests.
