Every engine: official vs real
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol · 81 kW (110 hp) | 4,221 | 5.6 | 6.3 | +13% |
| Petrol · 110 kW (150 hp) | 3,937 | 5.7 | 6.7 | +17% |
| Petrol · 140 kW (190 hp) | 1,421 | 7.2 | 8.1 | +12% |
| Diesel · 110 kW (150 hp) | 10,796 | 4.6 | 5.7 | +24% |
| Diesel · 85 kW (116 hp) | 10,712 | 4.4 | 5.4 | +22% |

| Hybrid · 110 kW (150 hp) | 13,437 | 5.7 | 6.8 | +20% |
| Hybrid · 81 kW (110 hp) | 6,661 | 5.1 | 6.2 | +21% |
| Hybrid · 85 kW (116 hp) | 155 | 5.4 | 6.3 | +17% |
Engines with fewer than 100 cars in the data are not shown. Hybrid includes mild hybrids (48 V) as registered by the manufacturer.
Plug-in hybrid
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Electric share | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid · 110 kW (150 hp) | 14,633 | 1.2 | 4.9 | 27% | +310% |
The official WLTP figure for plug-in hybrids assumes a share of electric driving based on range. When cars are charged less often than assumed, real consumption is far higher.
By reporting year
| cars | Real world | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 1,108 | 5.9 |
| 2022 | 10,511 | 5.8 |
| 2023 | 29,482 | 5.9 |
| 2024 | 52,811 | 6.1 |
The same cars are reported again each year with their lifetime totals, so years are not added together.
