Car data by country and year

A statistical annual

Car data,
by country and year.

Every figure we hold for a car, printed with the organisation that published it and the basis it was measured on. Lists ordered by one measured quantity at a time. No overall verdict, no editorial opinions. Free to browse.

No overall score We do not add a car's figures together into a single number. A list here is ordered by one measured quantity — most horsepower, fewest complaints per 10,000 built, best fuel economy — and makes only the claim that quantity supports. Every figure belongs to one country and one model year, and nothing on this site puts two markets in one comparison space.

How it works

A car page carries every figure we hold for that car, in the unit it was published in, with the organisation that published it and the basis it was measured on. A figure we do not hold is named as an absence with its reason. Nothing is filled in, defaulted or estimated into a gap.

A list is sorted by one figure at a time and says which: most horsepower, fewest recall campaigns, highest crash rating, best fuel economy. A car that does not carry that figure is not in the list — it is shown separately, with the reason it is not carried. The list also states its own coverage: how many cars of the market-year carry the figure, and out of how many.

Petrol mpg and electric MPGe are two different quantities and are never mixed in one list. Every list's tie-break is published, so any list can be reproduced from the rows.

Browsing all of this is free. What is sold is the API and the bulk data behind it.
