Every engine: official vs real
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diesel · 150 kW (204 hp) | 527 | 5.4 | 6.5 | +20% |
| Hybrid · 195 kW (265 hp) | 4,992 | 7.9 | 9.2 | +17% |
| Hybrid · 250 kW (340 hp) | 1,287 | 8.5 | 10.1 | +18% |
| Hybrid · 150 kW (204 hp) | 306 | 7.3 | 8.1 | +11% |
| Diesel hybrid · 150 kW (204 hp) | 17,534 | 5.7 | 6.9 | +21% |

| Diesel hybrid · 120 kW (163 hp) | 2,024 | 5.4 | 6.5 | +20% |
| Diesel hybrid · 253 kW (344 hp) | 561 | 7.2 | 8.4 | +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 · 195 kW (265 hp) | 9,522 | 1.4 | 7.1 | 25% | +398% |
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 | 1,472 | 7.4 |
| 2022 | 9,705 | 7.2 |
| 2023 | 21,628 | 7.3 |
