03What will it cost?

Put every car through the same math.

Compare gas, hybrid, plug-in, and electric using how you plan to pay, how far you drive, and what energy costs where you live. We won’t guess at figures you haven’t entered.

What you’ll get

A side-by-side estimate of cash or lease outlay, financing cost, and gas or electricity over the time you plan to keep the car.

Useful planning math—not a dealer quote or a promise about your total cost.

01 / How you pay

Pick one ownership method.

The same method and terms are applied to every vehicle so the comparison does not move the goalposts.

Ownership method

02 / How you drive

Use your distance and prices.

These are shopper assumptions, not a live energy-price feed. PHEV electric share stays vehicle-specific below.

03 / What you are comparing

Add quote and consumption facts.

Use MSRP or an all-in quote, but use the same price basis for every row. No tax or fee is silently added.

04 / Scenario output

Compare cash outlay—not invented certainty.

Enter a vehicle price to begin.

Results appear as facts become available. Missing inputs stay visible instead of being replaced with generic market averages.

Deliberately excluded

Resale value, depreciation, insurance, maintenance, repairs, incentives, financing approval, and any tax or fee you did not include in the entered vehicle price.

Lease boundary

Lease results cover only the quote term entered. A buyout is shown when supplied but is not added to period outlay; excess-kilometre pricing, wear charges, and a replacement lease are not assumed.
