CO2-Emissionen & Verbrauch.
Die Angaben zu Kraftstoffverbrauch, CO2-Emissionen, Stromverbrauch und Reichweite werden nach dem vorgeschriebenen Messverfahren VO (EU) 2007/715 in der jeweils geltenden Fassung ermittelt. Sie beziehen sich auf Fahrzeuge auf dem Automobilmarkt in Deutschland. Bei Spannbreiten berücksichtigen die Angaben im NEFZ Unterschiede in der gewählten Rad- und Reifengröße, im WLTP die Auswirkungen jeglicher Sonderausstattung.
Alle Angaben sind bereits auf Basis des neuen WLTP-Testzyklus ermittelt. Aufgeführte NEFZ-Werte wurden gegebenenfalls auf das NEFZ-Messverfahren zurückgerechnet. Für die Bemessung von Steuern und anderen fahrzeugbezogenen Abgaben, die (auch) auf den CO2-Ausstoß abstellen, sowie gegebenenfalls für die Zwecke von fahrzeugspezifischen Förderungen werden WLTP-Werte zugrunde gelegt. Weitere Informationen sind hier www.bmw.de/wltp und hier www.dat.de/co2/ zu finden.
