Every engine: official vs real
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol · 96 kW (131 hp) | 4,521 | 5.4 | 6.4 | +18% |
| Petrol · 110 kW (150 hp) | 4,070 | 5.6 | 6.8 | +23% |
| Petrol · 81 kW (110 hp) | 3,411 | 5.2 | 6.3 | +20% |
| Petrol · 66 kW (90 hp) | 1,259 | 5.5 | 6.1 | +11% |
| Petrol · 140 kW (190 hp) | 296 | 6.6 | 7.7 | +16% |
| Diesel · 110 kW (150 hp) | 8,142 | 4.5 | 5.7 | +27% |
| Diesel · 85 kW (116 hp) | 3,760 | 4.2 | 5.4 | +28% |
| Hybrid · 110 kW (150 hp) | 5,962 | 5.6 | 6.8 | +20% |
| Hybrid · 81 kW (110 hp) | 2,043 | 5.4 | 6.1 | +13% |
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) | 4,128 | 1.2 | 4.7 | 31% | +296% |
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 | 1,018 | 6.2 |
| 2022 | 8,093 | 6.2 |
| 2023 | 25,738 | 6.1 |
| 2024 | 33,513 | 6.1 |
The same cars are reported again each year with their lifetime totals, so years are not added together.
