Standards and Methodology
Performance range figures: All electric range figures are measured under the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP).
WLTP range figures are standardised laboratory measurements. Real-world range will vary depending on conditions including ambient temperature, driving style, speed, vehicle load, and use of ancillary systems such as climate control and heating.
PHEV electric range figures are obtained using a combination of battery power and fuel, measured under WLTP with a fully charged battery.
Electric Car Grant (ECG): The UK government Electric Car Grant provides £1,500 off the purchase price of eligible battery electric vehicles with an OTR price below the scheme threshold. Eligibility is subject to current government criteria.
