A thick, chapeau for Jaguar-Land Rover, they belazeren the least with the specifications of the fuel consumption.
About the nonsensical NEDC-cycle and are completely unworldly results is very much said and written, so that record, we this time not more on. However, there has long been a more realistic test cycle gebakkeleid, and thanks to all the recent emissieschandalen seems to be there in 2017 too.
Meanwhile, some major foreign media that the budget and the workforce have to do this pro-actively participate in, and are themselves, as a foretaste to the test beaten. The German Auto, Motor und Sport subjected to less than 600 cars to a private test cycle of up to 275 km long (combination of highway, city, and highway), drove here to be as energy efficient as possible, and published today the results. Five manufacturers perform this better than the by the manufacturer:
1. Jaguar (-11,4%)
2. Subaru (-6,0%)
3. Infiniti (-5,2%)
4. Porsche (-4,8%)
5. Land Rover (-3,4%)
You notice something on the above list? On the contrary, it concerns all marks with heavy models. Secretly, this is actually quite a lot of a shot for open goal, for everyone that the matter is a little follow know: the bigger your engine, the smaller the deviation. A thick, 5.0 V8 scores usually in practice quite identical to the specifications, while the small koekblikjes with the even smaller 2 – or 3-cylinder grinder on board mercilessly through the basket to fall as soon as the accelerator pedal with more than just a velvet foot is touched.
On the other side of the spectrum, we have the following brands at (deviation given between brackets):
Peugeot (+ 14,4 %)
Renault (+ 14,3 %)
Fiat (+ 12,8 %).
Lexus and Toyota’s score is virtually the standard, the following brands are middenmoters: Mazda (+ 2,8 %), Nissan (+ 4,5 %), Hyundai (+ 5,3 %), Jeep (+ 5,4 %), Skoda (+ 5,7 %), Audi (+ 6,3 %), Mercedes (+ 6,6 %), BMW/Kia (both + 6,8 %) and Seat (+ 7,1 %).
