- CO₂: EPA's tailpipe rating for the car driven as rated on the test cycle — 234 g/mi, or 145 g/km.↩
- Fuel cost: an estimate — 13,800 mi a year at the EPA combined figure, priced at $4.319 per gallon (EIA US regular, 2026-09-14). Five years: $7,842. No publisher states this figure.↩
- Power: 143 hp is the combustion engine's rating alone, from EPA test-car data; the basis is confirmed by NHTSA's vPIC engine record. The whole car's output with the electric motor is not published by any free source, so it is not stated.↩

- This car is measured on the petrol scale: miles per gallon, the tailpipe CO₂ rating and engine horsepower. MPGe and charge-weighted CO₂ are electric-scale quantities and do not apply to it.↩
- Price: no price is published for this car. NHTSA's CAFE market data prices this market's cars by compliance configuration, and it lists none matching this one.↩
