± “Driving range” shows the estimated number of kilometres that can be travelled by the vehicle before it needs to be recharged based on standardised testing conditions and procedures for a new vehicle (where available). The range is solely displayed to help you compare vehicles tested under the same technical procedures. The actual range of the vehicle will vary according to various factors, such as the age and condition of the vehicle and its battery, fitted accessories, driving style, use of heating/cooling functionalities, traffic conditions, vehicle load and weather conditions. Where available, carsales displays the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) range. If WLTP data is unavailable, the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) range will be shown. If neither is available, the manufacturer’s claimed (OEM) range will be displayed. For more information about WLTP and how it’s calculated, read our editorial article here: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/how-is-driving-range-measured-for-electric-cars-138663/
