• 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 “VX220, Model Year 2001”, “VX220, Model Year 2002”, “VX220, Model Year 2003”, “VX220, MY2003”. How we use VCA’s figures.
