How this rating is calculated
Vehicles are rated in half star increments based upon the vehicle's tailpipe carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions released per kilometre. Only vehicles with no tailpipe emissions achieve a 6-star rating.

*The average tailpipe carbon dioxide is calculated for all vehicles of a similar body type and from emissions reported in the Australian Government's Green Vehicle Guide database.
Tailpipe C0 2 (g/km)
Tailpipe Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – indicates the vehicles CO2 emissions in grams per kilometre (g/km). These details are the result of standardised lab testing submitted by vehicle manufactures to the Australian Government’s Green Vehicle Guide.
Results are presented in the following three categories:
Combined (calculated to display the VESR star rating)
This category provides a figure which is a distance-weighted average of the Urban and Extra test phases.
Urban
This category tests the vehicle at a low average speed where conditions are typically stop-start traffic and engine idling.
Extra
This category tests the vehicle at a high average speed where conditions are typically at a constant speed.
The results produced in lab testing are a useful guide to understanding Vehicle Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions but do not simulate all possible real world driving conditions. Actual emissions produced may vary according to traffic and road conditions based on the condition of the vehicle and how it is driven.

The VESR calculator has an example diesel price set as $2/L. You can edit the VESR calculator and change the example diesel price.
The VESR calculator has an example petrol price set as $2/L. You can edit the VESR calculator and change the example petrol price.
The VESR calculator has an example electricity price set as $0.35/kWh. You can edit the VESR calculator and change the example electricity price.
*The average annual cost is calculated for all vehicles of a similar body type using the kilometres, fuel and electricity prices set in the VESR calculator, and energy consumption reported in the Australian Government's Green Vehicle Guide database. You can edit the VESR calculator and change the example price and annual travelling distance.
Annual diesel cost
Estimated annual costs are calculated using the default values set in the VESR calculator and based on a vehicle travelling 14,000 km in a year. Select Edit to adjust the default price and annual travelling distance in the VESR calculator to reflect your personal circumstances.
The cost calculation for each engine type is:
Petrol & diesel vehicles: L per km (fuel consumption Combined/100) x distance travelled per year (km) x average price per litre ($) = Annual cost ($)
Hybrid vehicles: L per km (fuel consumption Combined/100) x distance travelled per year (km) x average price per litre ($) = Annual cost ($)
Plug in Hybrids: L per km (fuel consumption Combined/100) x average price per litre ($) + kWh per km (electricity consumption in Wh per km/1000) x average price per KWh ($) = Energy cost per km ($)
Energy cost per km ($) x distance travelled per year (km) = Annual energy cost ($)
Electric vehicles: kWh per km (electricity consumption in Wh per km/1000) x distance travelled per year (km) x average price per kWh ($) = Annual cost ($)

Fuel consumption
Fuel consumption - indicates the vehicle’s fuel consumption in litres of fuel per 100 kilometres (L/100km). These vehicle details are the result of standardised lab testing submitted by vehicle manufactures to the Australian Government’s Green Vehicle Guide.
The results produced in lab testing are a useful guide to understanding vehicle fuel consumption although do not simulate all possible real world driving conditions. Actual fuel consumption may vary according to traffic and road conditions based on the condition of the vehicle and how it is driven.
