• 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.
• Plug-in hybrid figures are VCA’s weighted values, which count driving on battery power as well as on fuel.
• Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official 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 “MX-30”, “Mazda MX-30”. How we use VCA’s figures.
