Compare two cars: mileage, fuel cost and safety

Pick any two model years and versions side by side: combined mileage, what a year of fuel costs at your miles and price, the difference over 5 years, tailpipe CO2, the rank in the class and, where loaded, crash-test stars, recalls and owner complaints.

Some comparisons to start from

Each 2026 model against its nearest rival of the same class.

Common questions

Which cars can I compare?

Any two of the 325 model years on this site, 2024 to 2026, from 10 brands. Each side has its own brand, model, year and version.

How is the fuel cost worked out?

Miles a year divided by the version's combined mileage, times the price of the fuel that version burns. Each car has its own price box, which starts at the dated price of that fuel (regular, premium, diesel, E85 or electricity). When both versions burn the same fuel the two boxes are kept equal. The 5-year figure is 5 times the yearly figure. No fuel cost is shown for hydrogen cars (the EPA file gives none) or plug-in hybrids (the real cost depends on how often the car is charged). Nothing you type leaves the page.

Where do the safety figures come from?

Crash-test stars, recalls and owner complaints come from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and are shown only for cars whose data was loaded when the site was built; the row says so when it was not.

Mileage and fuel cost: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, fueleconomy.gov vehicle file (file dated 2026-11-04). Your own mileage depends on how and where you drive. Where our numbers come from.
