5 measured figures
5 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 carFuel economy is published for cars burning a liquid fuel — petrol, diesel and hybrid — whose economy is measured in miles per actual gallon; this car is not one of them, so the figure is not the same quantity for it
Tailpipe CO₂ (charge-weighted)Not published for this carthis car's CO₂ is published as the tailpipe rating for the car driven as rated on the test cycle (0 g/km), not as a composite weighted across electric and fuel-burning miles, so it is not the quantity this list orders. It is published as Tailpipe CO₂

5-Year Running Costs

Fuelnot estimated — No energy price and energy-consumption figure are held for this powertrain in this market, so its running cost is not estimated rather than priced as petrol.
InsuranceUS$5,520 (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.
