NOTE

Figures are estimates only for base models and are

measured in kilograms.

• Kerb mass is the mass of the base vehicle including all

fluid levels full, but without the driver, passengers or

luggage. The mass of the tray is estimated to be 106 kg.

• Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) is the combined mass that

the vehicle is allowed 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 allowable

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).
