It has been easier to figure out how far your car runs on gas mileage. From the turn of the year has bilimportørerne namely had to abandon the fuel consumption after the new and more accurate WLTP-norm, which is the successor to the old NEDC-norm.
It can especially be seen on the mikrobiler and larger models with a diesel engine, where the fuel consumption on paper is increased by up to 30 percent. But don’t worry, the cars runs just as great gas mileage as before, and, after the announced tax increase was called off in the previous week, there is no prospect for massive price increases.
however, There is a big difference between how much the theoretical consumption has increased among the individual models. A Volkswagen Take Up with the 60 hp, which previously ran 24,4 km/l after the NEDC standard, is doing now, for example, 19,6 km/l, while a diesel Peugeot 208 with the 100 hp is gone from 33,3 km/l to 23.8 km/l.
part of the explanation for the difference is that the VW group in the last two-three years the current has cut a chunk of the somewhat inflated NEDC figures, while the PSA group, which is behind the Peugeot, taking it all in one fell swoop. For three-four years ago you could individual the VW Polo and Golf models with diesel engine thus also run over 30 km/l on paper.
in the autumn of the year 2018, could the car manufacturers make use of a theoretical imputed numbers, called NEDC2, which served as a temporary solution. This means that the consumption of a series of new models launched in the last half to the whole of the year and born with NEDC2-the norm is not increased so much.
This applies, for example, the Ford Focus, the 1.0 125 hk ‘Titanium’, which drove a 20.8 km/l after NEDC2-the norm and now is abandoned to 17.2 km/l-17.5 km/l.
At the Volkswagen, which has regulated its numbers, is a VW Polo 1.0 with 90 hp gone from running 22,7 km/l on the paper to 18.5 km/l, while a VW Golf hatchback with a diesel engine of 115 hp and is now running to 20.2 km/l against the previous 24,4 km/l.
The new numbers are in any case an advantage for the vehicle owners, says Torben Lund Kudsk, head of the Economic Policy Secretariat at bilistorganisationen FDM. Many cars have been driven fewer kilometres per. litre of fuel than they previously have been abandoned.
– The numbers we are seeing now is much closer to what you are running in reality. For some car models hit the almost exactly, while others may still lie 20 per cent from the target, showing our experiences, says Torben Lund Kudsk.
He estimates that, among other things, the PSA group in the past have been good at optimizing its cars, so they fit to the NEDC-test conditions – notwithstanding the fact that the results of this test therefore does not responded so well to reality.
the new calculation in all cases this is an advantage for the ordinary motorist.
– It gets everything else just easier to make a more accurate kørselsbudget. If you commute much, it doesn’t matter how far the cars actually running on gas mileage, says the head.
Torben Lund Kudsk explains that it is especially cars with small turbobenzinmotor or diesel engine, which is being penalized by the new and more realistic WLPT-measurement method.
– This is the type of cars which previously had a hard time living up to the NEDC-the norm in fact. Especially when they came out on the highway. At the same time, are the engines more sensitive, depending on how you run. Therefore, the largest deviations with the new WLTP-talk here, he says.

Give heed, if you buy used car
If you are on the hunt for a used car, you must pay extra attention. The many changes in the way to determine the fuel consumption on the means, namely, that the three cars, which in principle is the same, can have different fuel consumption on paper.
A Peugeot 208 from the spring of 2017, for example, appear to clear 33,3 km/l after the NEDC standard, while the same car from the autumn of 2018 runs 30.3 km/l after NEDC2. And looking finally at a identical car from January 2019, so land it on 23,8 km/l after the WLTP standard. Even if the car is the same and runs just as great gas mileage, in fact as the other.
Here reads the council to sit in the car’s modelhistorik. If the engine has not been changed, the newest model from January 2019, with WLTP-figures the most true and fair picture of the car’s real fuel consumption.
At Bilbasen.uk, providing thousands of used cars on the web, downloaded the information on each car from Motorstyrelsen. There is talk about master data, and a vehicle from the spring of 2018, offered for sale at Bilbasen, therefore, will automatically appear with the consumption figures, which were in force at the time.
you Will be absolutely sure how far the car can run, you can check it on the website hvorlangtpaaliteren.dk. The figures are however not always completely updated.
Since 1. January has all the car importers have been required to provide fuel consumption after the WLTP-norm in the price lists. It has had a big impact on some car models, there now seems to run significantly less on a litre of fuel. Others, in contrast, slipped cheaply from the change. We have compiled a selection including:
NEDC: 24,4 km/l
NEDC2: 22,2 km/l
WLTP: 19,6 km/l
NEDC: 33,3 km/l
NEDC2: 30.3 km/l
WLTP: 23,8 km/l
NEDC2: a 20.8 km/l
WLTP: 17,2-17,5 km/l
NEDC2: 23,8 km/l
WLTP: a 20.8 km/l
NEDC2: 25,0 km/l
WLTP: 16,9 km/l
NEDC2: 23,1 km/l
WLTP: 18.2 km/l
NEDC2: 16.7 km/h
WLTP: 13.3 km/l
