Magazine tests
Published braking distances (Auto Bild, auto motor und sport, Auto Zeitung, ADAC, Za Rulem and others). Rank = position in the same test on the same surface (1 = shortest). The tests use different sizes, cars and conditions, so only compare numbers within the same test.
| Test | Size | Conditions | Result | Rank | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Bild 2026 | 245/45 R19 | dry asphalt · speed not stated | 33.9 m | 2 / 50 | 32.8 m |
| Auto Bild 2026 | 245/45 R19 | wet asphalt · speed not stated | 27.1 m | 3 / 50 | 25.2 m |
| Auto Bild 2025 | 225/40 R18 | dry asphalt 100→0 km/h | 35.0 m | 17 / 52 | 32.6 m |
| Auto Bild 2025 | 225/40 R18 | wet asphalt 80→0 km/h | 30.9 m | 15 / 52 | 27.4 m |
| Auto Bild 2023 | 225/45 R18 | wet asphalt 80→0 km/h | 27.2 m | 14 / 50 | 24.8 m |
The calculation on this page does not use these results: our check showed that a test in another size does not predict wet braking better than the EU label for your size. They are shown here as measured facts.
