Our consumer test organization 'Consumentenbond' has tested several new cars by the official testing protocol and in practice.
What they found was that more than half of the diesel powered cars go way over the limit for NOx and particulates in normal daily use. So it is not just a Volkswagen problem.

Worst scoring is the Renault Captur dCi 90. In the [road] testcycle this engine emits 460 milligram of NOx (nitrogenoxides) per kilometer. That's over 5.5 times the limit.

Alarmingly, several gas powered cars fail the daily use emissions test too.
Especially the direct injection engines have basically the same problem as diesel engines: high NOx and particulates.

The Ioniq is featured in the car comparison results but gets only 3 starts out of 5 for the ecotest, whereas the Prius gets 5.
The Tesla Model S P90 D only gets 4...!!!
