Average miles per gallon (MPG)

A measure of the car's fuel efficiency, the MPG figure will show you the average number of miles a car can travel for every gallon of fuel. These figures are for comparison purposes only. The actual MPG each car achieves will differ depending on your individual driving style and travel habits. Find out more about how mpg is calculated.

Please note that any figures quoted for VW Group vehicles within this Price Guide in relation to MPG for VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda models are provisional and are currently under review.

CO2 emissions (g/km)

Low emission models could save you money on fuel and are more environmentally friendly. You can use this dropdown to select a maximum CO2 emissions level.

Please note that any figures quoted for VW Group vehicles within this Price Guide in relation to CO2 for VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda models are provisional and are currently under review.

Engine size (litres)

Use these drop downs to select minimum and maximum engine size. Smaller engines will give you more miles to the gallon.

To allow the Scheme to remain affordable, drivers under 25 can only drive cars with an ABI Insurance Group of 16 or lower and with a power output of 120 brake horsepower (BHP) or less. Please select this option if you or your named driver is under 25.
