Change vehicle Close × What does this mean? Mpg measured under the WLTP test standard. WLTP is the current standard for measuring car fuel economy, in place since 2017. Note that plug-in hybrid mpgs quoted are for when running without electrical assistance. × What does this mean? Mpg measured under the test standard in place prior to March 31 2017. Note that the current standard (WLTP) generally provides significantly lower figures that are closer to real world experience. Mpg figures generated under the two different standards cannot be meaningfully compared. × What does this mean? Tank range based on mpg measured under the WLTP test standard. WLTP is the current standard for measuring car fuel economy, in place since 2017. Note that plug-in hybrid ranges assume running without electrical assistance. × What does this mean? Tank range based on mpg measured under the test standard in place prior to March 31 2017. Note that the current standard (WLTP) generally provides significantly lower figures that are closer to real world experience. Mpg/tank range figures generated under the two different standards cannot be meaningfully compared. × What does this mean? Rates shown are for standard cars with no optional extras fitted when new. Note that for cars registered after April 1 2017 (April 1 2025 for electric cars) an additional rate of road tax - currently £425 - is applied on the first five occasions tax is renewed if the price when new including options was over £40,000. × Additional rate An additional rate of £425 per year is added on top of the standard £195 rate on cars whose price when new was over £40,000 and that were first registered after April 1 2017 (petrol, diesel, hybrids), or after April 1 2025 (electric cars). The additional rate is only applied for the first five years that road tax is renewed; renewals after that revert to the standard rate of £195. × Why doesn't this apply? Electric cars built prior to the introduction of the Euro 7 standard will not have been required to undergo Euro emissions testing. × What does this mean?

Emissions data can vary over the lifespan of a version, typically due to manufacturer engine improvements.

What is presented here is based on the latest version.

When buying always check details with the seller if considerations such as eg ULEZ compliance will apply.

× What is this? Emissions measured under the WLTP test standard. WLTP is the current standard for measuring car fuel economy and emissions, in place since 2017. Note however that it only began to be used for determining a car's first year road tax and company car tax bandings from April 1 2020. × What is this? Emissions measured under the official test standard in place prior to March 31 2017. Note this standard remained in use for determining a car's first year road tax and company car tax bandings up until March 31 2020. × What is this? Luggage space with all seats in upright position.
