This all car search lets you start with the full car dataset and then narrow the results using structured vehicle data.

You can search by body style, fuel type, gearbox, number of seats, manufacturer and model range.

The search controls work together, allowing you to move from a broad list of cars to a more focused set of vehicles that match your selected criteria.

For example, you can search for a 7-seat hybrid SUV, an automatic electric hatchback or a diesel estate car from a selected manufacturer.

Once the results appear you can compare technical information including body style, fuel economy, CO2 emissions, performance, battery range, charging data and other vehicle specifications.

If this is the first time you've used our search engine then take a minute to read the How To Search guide or click on the "?" button on the top right of your screen.

How To Search

Start by choosing any of the search options that matter to you. You do not need to make every selection before starting a search.

You can search all cars by body style, fuel type, gearbox, number of seats, manufacturer and model range.

When you are ready, click the 'Search' button to display the cars that match your current selections.

'Body Style' Search

Body style can be used to narrow the search to hatchbacks, saloons, estates, SUVs, coupes, cabriolets, convertibles, roadsters or 4x4s where these are identified in the vehicle data.

This is often a useful starting point if you know the general type of car you want but have not yet chosen a manufacturer or model range.

'Fuel' Search

Fuel type can be used to search for petrol, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid or fully electric cars where these are available in the data.

If you select a plug-in hybrid fuel type, check the detailed results carefully because electric range, CO2 emissions and company car tax treatment can vary between vehicles.

'Gearbox' Search

Gearbox can be used to restrict results to manual or automatic cars.

Fully electric cars will normally appear with automatic-style transmission data because they do not use a conventional manual gearbox.

'Seats' Search

Seat selection can help identify cars with a specific passenger capacity.

This can be useful for users looking for 5-seat, 7-seat or other seating layouts where the seat data is available.

'Manufacturer' And 'Model Range' Search

Manufacturer can be used to restrict the results to one car maker.

Once a manufacturer has been selected, the model range list can be used to narrow the results further where model range data is available.

Search Results

Once the search results appear, you can display additional items such as body style, fuel economy, emissions, performance and battery information where these are available.

To see additional items, click on the buttons for 'BODY', 'ECONOMY', 'EMISSIONS', 'PERFORMANCE' or 'BATTERY' and check the boxes for the data you want to display on screen.

The most effective way of searching is to set your main car requirements first and then click the 'Search' button, but you can also see the impact of changing individual criteria if instant search updates are enabled.

Instant Search Updates

You can see the impact of changing individual search criteria on the results.

To do this click on 'Settings' at the top of the screen and in the 'Update Options' section choose 'Instant Search Update'. This will update the results every time you change an individual selection.

Keep in mind that instant updates can increase the amount of time it takes to complete a search because the page re-runs the search after each change.

You can also change the number of results displayed by changing the 'Display' setting. Choose either 'All Results' to show every matching car or '20 vehicles per page'.
