Getting Started

To view data on cars just:

  1. Choose how long you expect to keep the car
  2. Select your typical annual mileage
  3. Choose the manufacturer, then model range and derivative you want to see

We'll then display data on the car's price, standard equipment, options and their prices, forecast depreciation and running costs, plus technical data on performance, emissions, length/height, warranty, fuel consumption and more.

Prices

We'll display the manufacturer's published:

  • List Price
  • Delivery Charges (if any)
  • The Initial Tax Disc ('vehicle excise duty') for the car
  • The statutory first registration fee
  • The total 'On-The-Road-Price' of the car
  • The second year tax disc ('vehicle excise duty')
  • The fuel type of the car

Depreciation

We'll display the forecast total depreciation of the car from the manufacturer's List Price over the period you expect to keep the car and your mileage including:

  • List Price
  • Forecast residual value or 'resale' price of the car
  • Forecast depreciation from List Price over the term/total mileage
  • The residual value's percentage of the List Price after your term and total mileage

Servicing, Maintenance, Repairs & Fuel Costs

We'll display the forecast costs of maintaining the car over your selected term/total mileage. These are typically known as 'SMR' (or 'servicing, maintenance and repair') costs including:

Company Car Benefit

You can check the company car benefit and tax for a car including factors that impact on company car benefit such as:

Technical Specifications

You can see the technical specifications for a car across a wide range of details including:

  • Performance (top speed, 0-62mph time, engine power, etc)
  • Emissions such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide output for combustion engines
  • The engine and gearbox configuration
  • Fuel consumption for combustion engine cars ('TEL' values measure at the lowest number of opions, 'TEH' at the highest number of options)
  • Battery range and recharge times for electric cars
  • Wheel and tyre sizes
  • Dimensions for length, height, width, etc
  • Vehicle weights and towing capabilities
  • Safety ratings from NCAP for combustion engine and electric cars
  • The manufacturer's warranty years/mileage limits for the vehicle

Standard Equipment And Options

We'll show the car's standard equipment list and the options available for the car.

For options we'll also show the option price.

Some options are fitted by default unless you pick another item.

We'll show the 'default' options too (these are normally shown with '£0.00' for the price).

Equipment Comparison

In our Equipment Comparison table you can see which items are fitted as standard to the car across a range of equipment and options.

For example, if air conditioning is fitted as standard, you'll see a '' in the table. Where the item isn't standard we display a '-' symbol.

Sometimes the item may only be available at an extra cost or as part of a pack of options - let's say bluetooth, satellite navigation and a head-up display might be included as a 'Driver Pack'.

In that case we will display the 'pack' price rather than individual option price.

Standard equipment for the car is displayed under the categories:

  • Comfort (air conditioning/climate control, top speed, air suspension, etc)
  • Safety (airbags, collision avoidance braking, etc)
  • Security (alarm, immobiliser, etc)
  • Entertainment (DVD player, bluetooth interface, etc)
  • Exterior features (alloy wheels, electrically adjustable door mirrors, etc)

Comparator Tool

You can also compare cars with our Comparator Tool.

You can put up to 10 cars side-by-side and see technical data such as performance, emissions, length/height, etc, plus standard equipment by categories such as Comfort, Safety and Entertainment.
