    These figures were determined according to the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP). Fuel consumption figures quoted under WLTP are obtained under specific test conditions and they may not be achieved under 'real world' driving conditions. The figures do not relate to an individual vehicle and they are not a condition of our offer to you but serve solely as a means for comparing vehicle models of a similar type. These figures vary depending on what optional equipment you select. The specified CO₂ emissions only relate to the operation of the vehicle. Any CO₂ emissions generated or avoided when the vehicle is manufactured and supplied to you and the type of energy source are not taken into account when calculating the figures according to WLTP. The electric ranges determined according to the standard WLTP also include the measured range achieved through recuperation (energy recovery during braking). Individual driving style and behavior, speed, acceleration behavior, outside temperature, topography and the use of electric vehicles all influence the actual range and may increase or reduce it in certain circumstances. This means that depending on the driving conditions, the stated figures and the actual figures may differ.
