Where each one leads
Ford Fusion
- Fewer Ford Fusion cars in the Netherlands carry an illogical odometer record (2.8% against 4.2%).
- New Ford Fusion cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 146 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 175 for the Suzuki Jimny in 2022.
Suzuki Jimny
- Against cars of the same age, the Suzuki Jimny comes out better at its first MOT test (passes 9% more often than average) than the Ford Fusion (passes 3% more often than average).
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
