How to compare cars

Compare total cost of ownership, not just the sticker price.

• List price, insurance, fuel or charging cost and yearly maintenance for each car.
• Use our fuel cost and maintenance planner calculators to estimate running costs.
• Check safety ratings from independent crash-test programmes.
• Look at depreciation: some models hold their resale value much better.
• Test drive each car on roads you use daily and check boot space and seating.
