Has Kia admitted using 'defeat device' software to cheat emissions tests?
CO2 g/km
CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions, shown in grams emitted per vehicle per kilometer. An asphyxiant gas, not classified as toxic but can cause suffocation in concentrations of 7-10%.
CO [mg/km]
CO (carbon monoxide), toxic to humans when in concentrations in excess of 35 ppm (parts per million or milligrams per litre). It is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas.
NOx [mg/km]
NOx (mono-nitrogen oxided), produced from the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen gases during combustion, contributing significantly towards air pollution. Not to be confused with nitrous oxide.
*Less than average: based on similar sized engines between 2099 and 2299 engines.
