Where Can I Find Fuel Consumption Information?

Ford ensures that every new vehicle sold and registered in New Zealand complies with the New Zealand Transport Agency’s Technical Standards for Light Vehicles (defined as cars, motorcycles, mopeds, vans, people-movers, trailers including horse floats and caravans, and small buses). These standards can be found on the New Zealand Transport Agency’s website at https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/vehicle-types/. New Zealand law draws on standards from Australia, Japan, Europe and the United States. These standards have been incorporated into New Zealand transport law. 

Consumers can compare the fuel consumption and emissions performance of different makes and models of vehicles in two way. The first is by looking up the Fuel Economy Rating on NZ's Right Car website at https://rightcar.govt.nz/economy-ratings.html.

The second is by comparing the information and star ratings on the Fuel Consumption Label. Be aware that the figures on this label don’t necessarily mean that the driver of the vehicle will achieve that exact level of fuel economy or emissions performance. This label is prepared by the NZ Govt based on the standardised test results submitted by the Automotive Manufacturers. The label allows the consumer to compare many different vehicles, which facilitates an informed choice prior to purchase. However, many factors can affect the individual fuel economy figures your vehicle will actually achieve – driving style, vehicle loading, tyre type and tyre pressure, wind direction, traffic conditions and even what accessories you have had fitted to the vehicle.
