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)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions data is measured in grams per kilometre and is based on standardised lab testing. The data is provided to the Australian Government by vehicle manufacturers for the Green Vehicle Guide.
The lab testing involves different phases that imitate different kinds of driving. The results are presented in the following three categories:
Urban
This phase tests the vehicle for city driving conditions, including stop-start traffic and engine idling.
Extra
This phase includes testing at higher speeds.
Combined
This phase provides a figure which is a distance-weighted average of the Urban and Extra test phases.

*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 electricity cost
The default annual cost is calculated using the example set in the VESR calculator and is based on a vehicle travelling 14,000 km in a year. You can edit the VESR calculator and change the example price and annual travelling distance.
