• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “CR-Z, Model Year 2013”, “CR-Z Model Year 2011”, “CR-Z Model Year 2012”, “CR-Z, Model Year 2011”. How we use VCA’s figures.
