Frequently Asked Questions
Which body style is the most fuel-efficient?
In our data, Hatchback model years average the best economy at about 38 mpg (UK) on their most efficient configurations, while Van/Minivan average about 24 mpg. Body style is only one factor; engine, weight and gearing matter as much.
How is body style determined?
For US-market models the label comes from EPA's vehicle class and interior-volume fields (hatchback, 4-door and 2-door volumes). Where a model line mixes bodies, such as saloon and coupe versions, the main variant is used. Check the manufacturer's specification for the exact body you are buying.
Can I compare body styles by safety?
Yes. Each body-style page lists the highest-rated NHTSA model years. Compare ratings only within similar vehicle sizes.
