Where each one leads
Porsche Macan S
Ahead on none of the like-for-like measures.
Volvo V60
- On Canada's official test the most frugal 2026 Volvo V60 uses 8.9 l/100 km, the 2026 Porsche Macan S 12.2.
- New Volvo V60 cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 87 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 250 for the Porsche Macan S in 2022.
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
