How this ranking is built

The Cars-Data.com Score is a weighted composite of five measured dimensions — performance, efficiency, eco, value and practicality — each expressed as a percentile against cars in the same body type, fuel type and price class. The weights are ours and they are published. One variant per model is listed: where several trims qualify, the highest-scoring one represents the model. Cars without enough measured data to score are not ranked rather than being given a guessed score.
