For a greener future with WLTP

The testing measures for car pollutants, emissions and fuel consumption are changing. The new Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) aims to provide more accurate comparable vehicle data that better reflects realistic driving conditions.

Driving Range

The range was determined according to the standardised EU measurement procedure (WLTP). The individual driving style and other factors, such as speed, outside temperature, topography and the use of electricity-consuming devices/units, have an influence on the real-life range and can possibly reduce it.

 

 

Maximum charging speed

In order to achieve the maximum charging speed, EV3 must be charged at an 400-volt electric vehicle charger that delivers at least 150kW of electricity. The acceleration time of 7.5 seconds corresponds to the standard range battery. In the case of the long-range battery, the acceleration time will be 7.7 seconds. 

 

The actual charging speed and charging time depend on battery temperature and weather conditions.

 

Electricity consumption (kWh/100 km) combined from 14.9 to 16.2. CO2-Emission (g/km) combined is 0. Electricity consumption combined: [14.9-16.2] kWh/100 km; CO2-emissions combined: [0] g/km; CO2-class: [5]. The specified consumption and emission values were determined according to the legally prescribed measurement procedures (EU) 2017/1153. The above values have been tested in the Worldwide harmonized Light vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP); however, may not reflect real-world driving conditions. Actual energy consumption during driving may vary.  

 

 

* Parking Sensors may not match exterior body colour.

 

** Compatibility and functions may vary due to the model year of mobile device and the version of software installed.
