Tuulilukemat

Tuulilukemat is a Finnish term used to describe a set of standardized car test results and benchmark figures published by Finnish motoring media. The phrase, which can be translated roughly as windshield figures or windshield readings, serves as a label for a recurring feature that aggregates objective measurements and comparisons of new vehicles.

The content usually comprises a range of performance and efficiency metrics gathered under controlled testing conditions. Common elements include fuel consumption or energy use, CO2 emissions, acceleration (such as 0–100 km/h times), braking performance, handling and stability, ride quality, interior noise, and sometimes equipment levels and price-to-performance analysis. In some cases, long-term or real-world testing supplements lab-based results to illustrate how vehicles perform outside standardized cycles.

Tuulilukemat is published in Finnish automotive media, most prominently in the Tuulilasi/Motoring outlets and their online platforms. It targets car buyers, enthusiasts, and industry observers who seek transparent, comparable data to inform purchases and discussions. The format often features side-by-side comparisons, rankings, and interpretive commentary on how different models stack up against each other.

Methodology and limitations are typically noted, emphasizing standardized testing procedures while acknowledging factors such as weather, road conditions, and vehicle configuration. Critics may point to variations between lab results and real-world driving or to differences in test conditions across brands. Overall, Tuulilukemat aims to provide a neutral, evidence-based reference point for evaluating passenger cars within the Finnish market.
