Every engine: official vs real
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol · 110 kW (150 hp) | 8,924 | 6.7 | 7.5 | +11% |
| Petrol · 130 kW (177 hp) | 2,553 | 7.9 | 8.8 | +12% |
| Petrol · 97 kW (132 hp) | 2,174 | 7.3 | 8.3 | +14% |
| Petrol · 118 kW (160 hp) | 157 | 7.1 | 7.7 | +7% |
| Diesel · 85 kW (116 hp) | 710 | 5.5 | 5.3 | −2% |
| Diesel · 100 kW (136 hp) | 386 | 5.8 | 5.2 | −10% |
| Hybrid · 132 kW (179 hp) | 11,663 | 6.3 | 7.3 | +16% |
| Hybrid · 110 kW (150 hp) | 6,907 | 6.5 | 7.6 | +16% |
| Hybrid · 118 kW (160 hp) | 190 | 6.1 | 7.0 | +15% |
| Diesel hybrid · 100 kW (136 hp) | 2,669 | 5.2 | 5.6 | +9% |
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) | 6,930 | 1.1 | 5.5 | 25% | +399% |
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 | 698 | 8.2 |
| 2022 | 6,185 | 7.6 |
| 2023 | 21,784 | 7.2 |
| 2024 | 36,346 | 7.3 |
The same cars are reported again each year with their lifetime totals, so years are not added together.
