Fuel Consumption - Metric [l/100 km]
Metric Urban (cold) The urban test cycle is carried out in a laboratory at an ambient temperature of 20oC to 30oC on a rolling road from a cold start, i.e. the engine has not run for several hours. The cycle consists of a series of accelerations, steady speeds, decelerations and idling. Maximum speed is 31mph (50 km/h), average speed 12 mph (19 km/h) and the distance covered is 2.5 miles (4 km).
Metric Extra Urban The extra-urban cycle is conducted immediately following the urban cycle and consists roughly half steady-speed driving and the remainder accelerations, decelerations and some idling. Maximum speed is 75mph (120 km/h), average speed is 39mph (63 km/h) and the distance covered is 4.3 miles (7 km).
Metric Combined The combined figure presented is for the urban and the extra-urban cycle together. It is therefore an average of the two other parts of the fuel consumption test, Urban and Extra-urban cycles, weighted by the distance covered in each part.

Further Details
CO2 Emissions [g/km] When petrol or diesel is burnt for energy the main by-products are water vapour and carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon Dioxide is the most important of the greenhouse gases which are contributing to Climate Change. In 6000 miles a car will produce roughly its own weight in CO2. Unless action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, the whole pattern of the world’s weather could change.
Noise Level
[dB(A), moving]		 The current noise test standard for passenger cars, as detailed in EU Directive 92/97, consists of driving the vehicle into a test area at a speed of 50 km/hr and then accelerating at full throttle through the test area. A microphone at a set distance from the line of travel measures the maximum level of noise reached. Noise levels are shown in decibels as measured on the A scale of a noise meter. The A scale was devised to 'weight' the reading of a noise so it more closely represented what is heard by the human ear.
CO Emissions [g/km] CO emissions [g/km]. Carbon monoxide reduces the bloods oxygen carrying capacity which can reduce availability of oxygen to key organs.
109 74.0 0.267
HC Emissions [g/km] HC emissions [g/km]. Hydrocarbons contribute to ozone formation. Some kinds of HCs can also be carcinogens and they are also indirect greenhouse gases.
NOx Emissions [g/km] NOx emissions [g/km]. Oxides of nitrogen react in the atmosphere to form nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which can have adverse effects on health, particularly among people with respiratory illness. NOx also contributes to smog formation, acid rain and can damage vegetation.
HC+NOx Emissions [g/km] HC+NOx emissions [g/km]. Hydrocarbons, contribute to ozone formation. Some kinds of HCs can also be carcinogens and they are also indirect greenhouse gases. Oxides of nitrogen react in the atmosphere to form nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which can have adverse effects on health, particularly among people with respiratory illness. NOx also contributes to smog formation, acid rain and can damage vegetation.

Particulates [No.] Particulates [No.] emissions [g/km]. Fine particles (especially those smaller than 10 microns) enter the lungs and are associated with a range of respiratory and cardiovascular disorders and asthma.
Euro Standard In 1992 exhaust emission limits, (now often referred to as Euro 1 standards) were introduced for new cars, which resulted in the fitting of advanced emission control techniques, e.g. catalysts. More stringent emission limits came into effect in 1997 and 1998, depending on vehicle type, and these were known as Euro 2. Euro 3 requirements were introduced with effect from 1st January 2000 and, for the majority of vehicles, came into full effect on 1st January 2001. A further tightening of the emissions limits, Euro 4, begins on the 1st of January 2005 and will be in force by 1st January 2007. Some manufacturers have chosen to approve cars to Euro 4 limits ahead of time and these are shown on this site.
Fuel Cost / 12000 miles The fuel cost of driving 12,000 miles is calculated using the combined fuel consumption figure and the respective average fuel figures published in our annual publication “New Car Fuel Consumption and Emission Figures”. The booklet is produced in May of each year so allowing for the printing process the fuel figures used are those published by the Department of Trade and Industry for March. There are of course many changes to fuel prices during the course of a year, not to mention many regional variations. It is because of this that we have decided to use the average figure, taken at a given point in the year, as this ensures a level playing field for comparison purposes.
