Compare Car Equipment & Specifications

About Our Car Comparator

With our car comparator you can view up to 10 cars side-by-side on a range of data.

You can see prices, depreciation, maintenance and fuel costs, company car benefit calculations, technical specifications and standard equipment.

In the Help section you'll see more information about how to use the comparator and details about the comparison tables - click on the '?' button in the top right corner of the screen.

If you prefer the old comparison tool then you can still use it - just click here.

Technical Specifications

You can compare the technical specifications for each 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 eletric 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

We have summarised the typical standard equipment lists of cars so that you can compare cars side-by-side.

We show whether or not the equipment is provided as standard in the price of the car or is an optional extra.

Where the item is standard you will see a '' in the table. Where the item isn't standard we display a '-' symbol.

Sometimes the item may only be available as part of a pack of options (e.g. bluetooth, satellite navigation and a head-up display) in which case we display the 'pack' price rather than individual option prices).

Standard equipment is displayed under the categories:

  • Comfort (air conditioning/climate controltop 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)
