Audi* has been updated. New standards for fuel consumption.

NEDC and WLTP

The new test provides for a modified driving cycle and more stringent test specifications, including a longer measurement period and a higher maximum speed. The changes at a glance:

From the cold start, four speed ranges are measured on the chassis dynamometer: up to 60, up to 80, up to 100 and over 130 km/h. During each of these ranges, the vehicle is always accelerated and slowed down. The top speed is thus 10 km/h higher than the NEDC. In addition, the average speed of about 47 km/h is also significantly higher than the previous 33 km/h. The test chamber has a temperature of 23°C, while NEDC allowed a range of 20-30°C. The entire WLTP drive cycle takes about 30 minutes, while the NEDC only took 20 minutes. The track length has more than doubled and is now 23 instead of 11 kilometres. Unlike the NEDC, individual optional extras for the WLTP for weight, aerodynamics, rolling resistance, and vehicle electrical system requirements (quiescent current) are also taken into account. Power-consuming optional extras, such as the air conditioning and seat heating, still remain switched off for the test procedure.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determind according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. Therefore, the usage of CO2 emission values measured according to WLTP for vehicle taxation from 1st September 2018 on can cause changes in this regard as well. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.audi.de/wltp.




We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such times as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle. Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO₂ emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the guide “Information on the fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and electricity consumption of new cars”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Strasse 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany (www.dat.de).
