Every figure, group by group

Each cell is the range across the maker’s 2026 configurations of that model, with the small number of the document it comes from. A figure that is an estimate, an owners’ report or a third-party figure wears its mark and never decides a lead; a group where one model has no maker figure says so.

  • A figure marked “with” needs that factory package; one without is the configuration as it comes.
