How it's calculated

New passenger car registrations in EU countries (and the others that report to the European Environment Agency), grouped by model.

Each model's body type (SUV, hatchback, sedan…) and size come from its Wikidata classification and our own review of the best-sellers; models without a type yet only appear under “All”.

Source: European Environment Agency (EEA), “Monitoring of CO2 emissions from passenger cars”, CC BY 4.0 licence. 2025 data (provisional), imported on September 24, 2026. We automatically check for new data every 6 hours (last check: September 25, 2026 at 02:17 PM GMT+2). This is the type-approval data declared by manufacturers and it may contain errors.
