Lowest real-world consumption: Diesel hybrid · 145 kW (197 hp) at 7.1 L/100 km.
Every engine: official vs real
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol · 184 kW (250 hp) | 140 | 7.9 | 9.5 | +20% |
| Diesel · 145 kW (197 hp) | 847 | 6.2 | 7.3 | +18% |
| Diesel · 173 kW (235 hp) | 152 | 6.0 | 7.7 | +29% |
| Hybrid · 145 kW (197 hp) | 16,342 | 7.5 | 8.9 | +19% |
| Hybrid · 184 kW (250 hp) | 12,057 | 7.9 | 9.3 | +17% |
| Hybrid · 220 kW (299 hp) | 190 | 8.2 | 10.1 | +24% |
| Diesel hybrid · 145 kW (197 hp) | 68,852 | 6.2 | 7.1 | +15% |
| Diesel hybrid · 173 kW (235 hp) | 5,383 | 6.4 | 7.7 | +20% |
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 · 186 kW (253 hp) | 92,051 | 1.1 | 6.3 | 28% | +468% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 228 kW (310 hp) | 18,795 | 1.1 | 6.2 | 33% | +459% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 223 kW (303 hp) | 4,457 | 2.5 | 7.4 | 22% | +191% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 233 kW (317 hp) | 666 | 3.2 | 8.0 | 22% | +152% |
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 | 8,711 | 7.3 |
| 2022 | 28,558 | 7.2 |
| 2023 | 44,167 | 7.2 |
| 2024 | 104,149 | 7.3 |
The same cars are reported again each year with their lifetime totals, so years are not added together.
