ADAC tests cars with emission standard Euro 6d-temp New diesels are clean – but expensive and thirsty

It goes: New diesel cars, which meet the emission standard Euro 6d temp, are apparently actually very clean. The first nitric oxide measurements of the ADAC on three vehicles suggest that the automobile club on Monday has published, The examiners examined the BMW X2 xDrive 20d, the Peugeot 308 SW BlueHDi 180 and the Volvo XC60 D5 – all in their automatic version.

Accordingly, all three wagons keep the limit values clearly not only on the test bench, but also under real driving conditions (RDE). While the legislature will allow a maximum of 168 milligrams of nitrogen oxides (NOx) per kilometer in the RDE process for the new emission standard, the BMW will come up with 23, the Peugeot 30 and the Volvo 56 milligrams.

Car buyers leave diesel vehicles more often left – too many seems in the face of the exhaust scandal, the risk of driving bans in large cities. In the process, a new generation of auto-igniters is finally filtering out nitrogen oxides effectively from the exhaust gases. We show the first cars with this standard Euro 6d-temp, which are allowed to emit 168 milligrams of NOX per kilometer in real traffic.

BMW 216d / 218d / 220d Active Tourer

Market launch: March 2018

BMW also had problems with nitrogen oxide emissions under real driving conditions.

BMW X1 sDrive18d / xDrive18d / xDrive20d

Market launch: March 2018

A double exhaust gas purification from storage catalytic converter and SCR catalytic converter with AdBlue should have solved the problems.

BMW X2 sDrive18d / X2 xDrive18d / X2 xDrive20d

Market launch: March 2018

For a long time, BMW was considered clean, but the picture has recently got more cracks – also because of a raid on the car manufacturer.

DS 7 Crossback BlueHDi 130/180

Market launch: February 2018

The luxury car comes from the PSA Group. This was confirmed by environmentalists the low pollutant emissions of several models.

Ford Ka + 1.5 TDCi / Ka + Active 1.5 TDCi

Market launch: March 2018

Also Ford wants to show with a new diesel, that now goes, what was supposedly impossible for a long time: A proper exhaust gas purification.

Civic 1.6 i-DTEC

Market launch: March 2018

Practically all manufacturers – whether from Asia, Europe or the USA – had to supplement their vehicles with exhaust gas purification technology.

Mini Clubman One D / Cooper D / Cooper SD

Market launch: March 2018

Mini also responded to the fact that normal Euro-6 diesel in reality usually emitted much more nitrogen oxides than allowed on the test bench.

Countryman One D / Cooper D / Cooper SD

Market launch: March 2018

According to the Federal Environment Agency they came on the road on average 507 milligrams NOX per kilometer. New Euro6d temp diesel come only on a fraction.

Mercedes A 180 d

Market launch: May 2018

Mercedes responded very early – and even a praise from the archenemy, the German environmental aid, caught up.

Mercedes E 300 d / T model

Market launch: February 2018

Some environmentalists ask, however, why it is now possible, what is considered impossible for a long time.

Mercedes CLS 350 d Coupe / 400 d Coupe

Market launch: May 2018

Only the pressure from the public had sensitized the car manufacturers and suppliers.

Opel Mocha X 1.6 Diesel

Market launch: March 2018

Even in smaller models, there is suddenly room for better catalysts.

Opel Grandland X 2.0 Diesel StartStop

Market launch: November 2017

The question is whether the customers regain confidence in the diesel.

Peugeot 308 1.5 BlueHDi 100/130 / 2.0 BlueHDi 180 / SW

Market launch: October 2017 / March 2018

“The measurements show excellent results for nitrogen oxides and the number of fine dust particles,” the environmental lobby group Transport and Environment said about Peugeot models.

Peugeot 508 BlueHDi 180

Market launch: October 2018

Peugeot had previously measured and communicated the realistic consumption of its cars with environmental organizations.

Peugeot 5008 1.5 BlueHDi 130/180

Market launch: November 2017 However, PSA had spent time communicating exhaust emissions – apparently the engines had to be optimized for the measurement under realistic conditions.

Volvo V40 D2 / D3 / Cross Country D2 / D3

Market launch: March 2018

The Swedes have courageously announced that they will soon say goodbye to the internal combustion engine.

Volvo V60 D3 / D4

Market launch: July 2018

First, however, they bring even better diesel on the market, which emit less exhaust.

Volvo XC40 D3 / D4

Market launch: February 2018

In the medium term, however, conventional diesel cars are likely to encounter problems with the CO2 limits.

Volvo XC 60 D3 / D4 / D5

Market launch: November 2017 / February 2018

These do not apply to individual cars, but entire fleets.

Volvo S90 D3 / D4 / D5

Market launch: March 2017

Therefore, driving bans are unrealistic due to high CO2 emissions – especially since the greenhouse gas is not directly harmful to health.

Volvo XC90 D5

Market launch: November 2017

Hybrid and electric cars will therefore continue to play an increasing role – even if manufacturers have extended the lifetime of diesel with the new emission standard.

According to experts, drivers of cars with the new Euro 6d-temp emission standard are safe from driving restrictions until further notice. In the first tests, some models even performed far better than the limits allow. Extensive results are expected in the coming weeks.

For comparison: cars with emission standard Euro 6 (without d-temp) come under real driving conditions, according to the Federal Environment Agency on average to 507 grams, sometimes over 1000 milligrams. Surpass it these muddlers the test bench limits by more than tenfold. On the test bench a manipulated engine software ensures that the cars pass the test. Almost everyone has Manufacturer cheated the public and their customers and the exhaust scandal caused.

The new Euro 6d temp vehicles not only cut better than some gasoline and could the diesel technology make a comeback, They are also well below the emission limit of 120 milligrams of NOx, which only applies from 2021. Even with the more demanding ADAC Ecotest on the road, all cars stay well below this level.

Only one outlier under extreme conditions recorded the testers. On fast highway driving the Volvo came to 239 milligrams of NOx. No glory sheet for the Swedes – in the sense of the official test cycle, however, not a broken leg, as such trips are hardly included in the overall standings.

The reasons for the sudden progress in the diesel technology are apparently diverse. BMW relies on a double exhaust gas purification with two catalysts. Other manufacturers use more powerful devices or have optimized the combustion process in the engine.

10th place: Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi Premium 4WD

The neat SUV from Korea collects his (few) points by a still reasonably passable fuel consumption of six to seven liters. In terms of pollutants, the car fails completely, especially the nitrogen oxide emissions is high.

ADAC Environmental Points: 16 (out of a maximum of 110)

Seat 9: BMW X3 xDrive20d Steptronic

The BMW has a nitric oxide problem. But the calculated CO2 emissions of 214 grams of CO2 per kilometer in 2018 are also subterraneously bad.

ADAC Environmental Points: 16 (out of a maximum of 110)

Seat 8: Ford Galaxy 2.0 TDCi Start / Stop Titanium

The friendly family van is actually an exhaust monster: A whopping 578 milligrams of nitric oxide escaped from the exhaust per kilometer – a multiple of the limit. The car shows – even Euro6 diesel are usually true Dreckschleudern.

ADAC Environmental Points: 14 (out of a maximum of 110)

Seat 7: Citroen Spacetourer M BlueHDi 150 Start & Stop Shine

The Grossvan is to be kept good in the face of lousy pollutant values that he can transport up to 8 people. Calculated per promoted person, the poor performance then relativizes something.

ADAC environmental score: 11 (out of a maximum of 110)

Seat 6: Ford Edge 2.0 TDCi Bi-Turbo Start / Stop Titanium 4×4 Powershift

Cutie and dirty – here comes the midsize SUV from Ford. The Cologne have obviously saved on the engine. Especially the carbon monoxide levels are high.

ADAC environmental score: 9 (out of a maximum of 110)

5th place: Subaru Forester 2.0D Sport Lineartronic

The SUV is a true nitric oxide monster on wheels – although he (allegedly) meets the emission standard Euro6b. Out of the exhaust come 2022 milligrams of NOx per kilometer. Only 80 are allowed.

ADAC environmental score: 8 (out of a maximum of 110)

4th place: Renault Koleos dCi 175 initial Paris 4WD Xtronic

The four-wheel-drive SUV swallows an awful nine-liter fuel on the highway – a devastating result in the ADAC test. The official figures are light years lower.

ADAC Environmental Points: 2 (out of a maximum of 110)

3rd place: SsangYong Korando 2.2 e-XDi 220 Sapphire 4WD automatic

The Korean also upsets with extreme thirst for fuel. If it takes an example that diesel cars by no means need to be efficient – here it is.

ADAC Environmental Points: 1 (out of a maximum of 110)

2nd place: Nissan NP300 Navara Double Cab 2.3 dCi N-Connecta 4×4

Zero stands at Nissan – on four wheels. In terms of environmental friendliness, the pickup is a total failure.

ADAC Environmental Points: 0 (out of 110)

1st place: Isuzu D-Max 1.9 Diesel Double Cab Premium + 4WD automatic

Sad top spot for Isuzu. The Japanese like many other vehicles in this ranking a rolling health hazard, legalized by lawmakers and sleepy inspectors. All the way to the front, he pushes himself with the CO2 emissions of 278 grams per kilometer. At the same time about ten times as much nitrogen oxides from the exhaust as allowed.

ADAC Environmental Points: 0 (out of 110)

However, the Euro 6d temp diesel investigated did not fully convince the ADAC. Thus, the auditors measured a very high fuel consumption for all three vehicles. In the Ecotest the BMW swallowed 21 percent more diesel than officially stated – 5.8 instead of 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers. The Volvo needed 22 percent more (7.1 instead of 5.8 liters), the Peugeot even 28 percent more.

“Not bad” is indeed in view of the high weight of the cars, so the ADAC. However, none of the cars received five out of five stars in the overall environmental rating. The BMW and the Peugeot got four, the Volvo only two stars. The ADAC has five stars under the current test conditions so far only for Electric and hybrid cars forgive.

In view of prices of more than 50,000 euros, especially the drivers of the BMW and the Volvo model (both SUVs) buy the new exhaust gas advantage rather expensive. Only the combination of Peugeot is with nearly 35,000 euros in the frame.
