How is this ranking compiled?

Each model appears once, with the largest engine displacement of any of its petrol, diesel or hybrid versions. Electric cars have no displacement and are left out.

Why is a model missing from the list?

A model is listed only when the 1CARS catalog has a confirmed figure for it. Models without an official figure stay out instead of getting an estimate, and the list grows as we add data. Concept cars, prototypes, one-offs and racing cars are not ranked; limited-run models are marked.
