WLTP to real-world — correction calculator
What range or consumption will you actually get?
Enter a WLTP manufacturer figure for range or consumption, choose the correction you find realistic, read the corrected indication.
Your estimate
425km
−75 km difference vs WLTP
WLTP 500, correction −15%
Result is shown in the same unit as your input.
Guide figure only — your chosen percentage applied to the manufacturer figure. Driving style, route and temperature shift the actual value up or down.
How the correction works
The rule is simple: corrected value = WLTP value multiplied by (1 + your chosen percentage divided by 100). For a range, -20% means you count on four fifths of the WLTP figure. The percentages are fixed choices you make, not a prediction from us. For figures per model side by side, see the model pages with WLTP next to reported real-world data.
WLTP is measured on a standardised test cycle in mild conditions. Real driving rarely matches it: cold air and a cold battery cut EV range, motorway speeds raise both consumption and energy use, and a heavier right foot widens the gap. That is why a fixed lab figure tends to overstate what you reach day to day — and why you set your own margin above.
| Vehicle type | WLTP (typical) | Common correction |
|---|---|---|
| EV range | ±400–600 km | −15% to −25% |
| Petrol consumption | ±6–8 l/100 km | −5% to −15% |
| Diesel consumption | ±5–7 l/100 km | −5% to −10% |
