Printed option prices only. A pack is counted once and makes the figure a floor when it carries no printed price. Nothing is inferred from the other car.
A plug-in hybrid is compared on its fuel use as a hybrid (battery depleted), the figure that is like for like with the other car; its certified combined figure, which assumes every trip starts with a full battery, is printed under it. Electric range is how far it goes before the petrol engine is needed.

Where each one leads
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV: the lower starting price ($47,790 against $97,990), the longer warranty (10 years against 5) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($1,710 a year against $2,537).
