*The stated fuel consumption and emission values were determined in accordance with the legally stipulated measuring method. Since 1. September 2017 to be certain a new car after the worldwide harmonised test procedures for Passenger and light commercial vehicles (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure, WLTP), a more realistic test method for the measurement of the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions type-approved. From 1. September 2018 will be the WLTP gradually replace the new European driving cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic conditions of the test, the WLTP measured fuel consumption and CO2 emission values are in many cases higher than the NEDC measured. For more information about the Differences between WLTP and NEDC, lake www.seat.de/ueber-seat/wltp-standard.html
Currently, the NEDC to communicate values is mandatory. If it is a new car, which are type-approved in WLTP, are derived from the NEDC-values of the WLTP-values. The additional indication of the WLTP-values can be made up to their mandatory use is voluntary. To the extent that the NEDC-values are given in ranges, they do not refer to a single, individual vehicle and are not part of the offer. They serve solely for purposes of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment features and accessories (attachment parts, format, etc.), you can Tire the relevant vehicle parameters such as e.g. weight, rolling change, resistance and aerodynamics-and, together with Weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior, the fuel consumption, the power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values of a vehicle affect.
Further information on official fuel consumption and the official specific emissions of CO2 can be taken from car emissions of new passenger cars in the “guidelines on fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new Passenger cars”, at all sales outlets and at DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen (www.dat.de) is available for free.
