Where each one leads
Renault Clio
- Fewer Renault Clio cars in the Netherlands carry an illogical odometer record (2.7% against 3.9%).
- New Renault Clio cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 113 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 128 for the SEAT Toledo in 2020.
SEAT Toledo
- Against cars of the same age, the SEAT Toledo comes out better at its first MOT test (passes 5% less often than average) than the Renault Clio (passes 17% less 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
