Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR (2014): 32 facts and highlights
1. higher maximum torque
Torque is a measurement of an engine’s power, closely related to horsepower. More torque indicates a more powerful car, and is also a good indication of its acceleration.
407Nm
Tesla Roadster: 10000Nm
2. better fuel economy (city)
Fuel economy is a measurement of fuel efficiency, based on how far you can travel with a certain amount of petrol (gasoline). A lower fuel economy means the car will be cheaper to run.
16.6l/100 km
Honda Clarity Electric (2017): 1.87l/100 km
3. Has four-wheel drive
Four-wheel drive is a system where torque is distributed to all four wheels of the vehicle. It is beneficial in some circumstances such as providing increased traction in tricky weather conditions, but is most suited to off-road driving.

5. better fuel economy (highway)
Fuel economy is a measurement of fuel efficiency, based on how far you can travel with a certain amount of petrol (gasoline). A lower fuel economy means the car will be cheaper to run.
12.8l/100 km
Honda Clarity Electric (2017): 2.28l/100 km
6. more horsepower
Horsepower is the most common unit for measuring the power of an engine.
291hp
Opel VXR8 GTS (2014): 585hp
7. Has a turbocharged engine
A turbocharger compresses the air entering the cylinders, allowing more air (and therefore more fuel) to be added - resulting in a more powerful explosion. This leads to an increase in horsepower without increasing the size and weight of the engine.

14. Has a petrol (gasoline) engine
A petrol (gasoline) engine offers several advantages over diesel. For example the engines tend to be lighter and cheaper than their diesel counterparts. Petrol engines also tend to have higher horsepower, and the fuel is more readily available.
The turn radius indicates the smallest circular turn a car can make. With a smaller turn radius it is easier to perform a U-turn in one attempt instead of having to reverse back and forth in order to turn around.
11.8m
Mitsubishi Lancer GT (2014): 10m
16. longer wheelbase
The wheelbase is the distance between the center of the front and rear wheels. A longer wheelbase provides the car with more stability and a smoother ride (although a shorter wheelbase can provide more responsive handling).
2.65m
Rolls-Royce Phantom (2014): 3.57m
17. longer drivetrain warranty (km)
The drivetrain warranty covers parts of the car such as the engine, transmission, driveshaft etc. This is usually longer than the basic warranty. It lasts either a certain number of years or amount of kilometres driven.
96561km
Chevrolet SS (2014): 160934km
18. more airbags
Airbags are designed to cushion occupants in the event of an impact. The standard number is around six as some cars now incorporate additional ones, such as knee airbags, side airbags and side curtain airbags.

Mercedes-Benz E250 BlueTEC Sedan (2014): 11
19. longer basic warranty (km)
The basic warranty of a car covers all aspects other than parts which are subject to normal wear and tear, such as windscreen wipers and brake pads. It lasts either a certain number of years or amount of kilometres driven.
57936km
Mitsubishi Lancer GT (2014): 96561km
20. Has ISOFIX/LATCH
ISOFIX (also known as LATCH) is a standard system of attachment points for child safety seats, allowing them to be fitted quickly and safely.

Rolls-Royce Ghost II (2014): 48
22. more headroom (rear)
More headroom in the rear of the car makes for a more comfortable passenger experience, and is especially important for taller people. It is also useful if you are transporting cargo in the rear of the vehicle.
937mm
Volkswagen Jetta (2014): 1.05m
23. larger interior
A larger interior volume makes for a more comfortable driving experience, giving more space for you and your passengers.
2639l
BMW 740Ld xDrive Sedan (2015): 3766l
24. lower ground clearance
The ground clearance is the distance between the lowest point of the car and the road surface. A shorter ground clearance lowers a vehicle’s center of gravity - increasing its handling ability and reducing the chance of a rollover. However, a higher ground clearance allows you to go over more uneven terrain.
