6 measured figures
6 of the 9 figures this market publishes for a car like this one are measured for this car. This market publishes no overall score, so there is no share of a composite weight to measure confidence against; figures_measured says how many of this market's figures the row carries, and contributing_publishers says who measured them

Figures this car does not carry

Fuel economyNot published for this cara fuel-economy figure was published for this car (29.4 mpg) and is withheld here: it is not comparable with the other cars in this list
Fuel economy (MPGe)Not published for this carEPA publishes a combined MPGe for every plug-in hybrid (the phevComb column of its fuel economy file): a blend of petrol and electricity weighted by an assumed share of electric driving, which is not the electricity-only figure the cars in this list are measured on. This site does not read that column, so it publishes no MPGe for this car
Tailpipe CO₂Not published for this carthe CO₂ figure published for this car (74 g/km) is a composite that credits part of the miles to grid electricity at zero tailpipe and weights them against the miles burning fuel, so it is smaller than what the car emits with its battery empty and is not the quantity every car in this list states. It is published as Tailpipe CO₂ (charge-weighted)

5-Year Running Costs

Fuelnot estimated — A plug-in hybrid's fuel use depends on how much of its driving is done on the battery, so it has no consumption figure that means the same as another car's, and its fuel cost is not estimated.
InsuranceUS$4,990 (modelled)
MaintenanceUS$5,200 (class estimate)
RepairsUS$8,000 (modelled)
Depreciationnot estimated — we hold no purchase price for this car, and it is not assumed.
Totalnot estimated — a component above is unknown or modelled

Running costs only — the purchase price is not included. The five-year running cost is an ESTIMATE, not a measurement of this car: only its fuel half is computed from the car's own measured consumption and a dated pump price (see fuel_price_source and fuel_price_as_of in the market's own figures); insurance, maintenance and repairs are class models. It orders no list and is not one of this market's published figures. Costs are in US dollars; a price quoted in another currency is converted at a fixed rate this record does not name. Insurance, maintenance and repairs are models, not figures for this car: insurance from its power, weight and crash rating, maintenance from its make's class, repairs from its complaint and recall counts. They are shown for scale and are not used to rank it. Confidence is low: several components are modelled from class averages.
