Where each one leads
Audi RS Q3
Ahead on none of the like-for-like measures.
Land Rover Range Rover Velar
- New Land Rover Range Rover Velar cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 139 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 227 for the Audi RS Q3 in 2022.
Too close to call: real-world fuel use in Europe, petrol (l/100 km).
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
