NOTE
Figures are estimates only for base models and
are measured in kilogra ms.
Kerb mass is the mass of the base vehicle
including all fluid levels full, but without the driver,
passengers or lugga ge.
Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) is the combined
mass that the vehicle is permitted to carry when
fully loaded. This includes luggage, passengers
and a full tank of fuel.
Payload includes accessories, fittings, luggage,
goods, passengers and a full tank of fuel. When
towing, the weight on the towbar ball must also
be included. Towbar mass of 23 kg and hitch load
must be deducted from payload figures.
Maximum rear axle load is the maximum for all
conditions.
Gross Combined Mass (GCM) is the maximum
permitted combined mass of the vehicle with
driver, passengers, luggage, a full tank of fuel
and the weight of a loaded trailer or caravan.
Consideration needs to be taken into account
when the trailer or caravan has either over-run
brakes or electric brakes or is an unbraked trailer
as the GCM specification can alter depending on
which braking system the towed vehicle is fitted
with. GCM must not exceed GVM (unless the
towed caravan or trailer has brakes).
