EU driving cycles
The official fuel consumption figures and range
during electric operation are based on two stand-
ardised driving cycles in a laboratory environment
("EU driving cycles"), all in accordance with EU
Regulation no 692/2008 and 715/2007 (Euro
5 / Euro 6), 2017/1151 and 2017/1153. Since
the driving cycles are also used for quality con-
trol, there are stringent requirements for test
repeatability. Testing is therefore conducted in a
controlled manner and only with the car's basic
functions (e.g. air conditioning, radio, etc.
switched off). The results of the official figures
are therefore not naturally representative of what
the customer sees in actual use.
The regulations cover the driving cycles "Urban
driving" and "Motorway driving":
•
Urban driving – the measurement starts
with a cold start of the engine. The driving is
simulated.
•
Motorway driving – the car is accelerated
and braked at speed of 0-120 km/h
(0-75 mph). The driving is simulated.
The official value for mixed driving, which is
shown in the table, is a combination of the results
from the "Urban driving" and "Motorway driving"
driving cycles in accordance with legal require-
ments.
To determine the carbon dioxide emissions (CO
2
emissions) during the two driving cycles, the
exhaust gases were collected. These were then
analysed to determine the value for CO
2
emis-
sions.
