WLTP is the official EU lab test, so the figures compare fairly between models — but your own consumption depends on speed, weather and load. This is a factual ranking of manufacturer figures, not buying advice; which car suits you is your call.

Translate a WLTP figure to your own driving with the real-vs-WLTP calculator.

No tax or financial advice. Every figure shows its source and reference date. Always compare with an independent adviser and the official source.
