Wanna see where this would be now, pretty sure the C02 hasn't improved :
Noticed in their weight video, a full tank doesn't even cover 400 km range ... that's not much ... maybe the onboard computer is calculating this because the previous usage was heavy and consumption was especially high but for a car that is not even break in it's weird... |
As has the driving (test) cycle emissions is measured by...
F8x was tested according to the NEDC (New European Drive Cycle) test cycle that wasn't very hard. The G8x is tested according to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) which is more real world relevant and also closer to the US (EPA) test cycle.

NEDC vs WLTP explained:

Here an industry average of 22% increase in CO2 is expected when testing NEDC cars under the WLTP test cycles. But individual differences have ranged from far lower values to much higher values than that.
199g/km x 1,22 = 242g/km (but in reality this figure could be much higher than 242g/km, or indeed lower. But as the claim CO2 has been reduced it isn't lower than the G8x WLTP numbers).
The G8x Comp has a WLTP CO2 of 230-234g/km while the base (MT) has 235-240g/km.
