Lowest real-world consumption: Diesel · 96 kW (131 hp) at 6.0 L/100 km.
Every engine: official vs real
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol · 96 kW (131 hp) | 595 | 6.1 | 7.1 | +17% |
| Petrol · 133 kW (181 hp) | 378 | 6.5 | 7.4 | +13% |
| Diesel · 96 kW (131 hp) | 204 | 5.1 | 6.0 | +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 · 132 kW (179 hp) | 1,138 | 1.3 | 5.6 | 25% | +337% |
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 | 115 | 6.7 |
| 2022 | 154 | 6.7 |
| 2023 | 1,367 | 6.7 |
| 2024 | 1,177 | 6.8 |
The same cars are reported again each year with their lifetime totals, so years are not added together.
