Fuel consumption on the NEDC is 6.7 L/100 km (35 mpg US) with 158 g CO 2 /km. L/100 km (39 mpg US), with less than 140 g of CO 2 /km. This constitutes a strong response to the durability problem of highly downsized high-loaded engines. The four-cylinder 1.5L The MCE-5 engine has been 12 years in development.
