BHP, PS and kW are the same power in different units

British and American figures are usually quoted in brake horsepower, European manufacturers often use PS, and official documents increasingly use kilowatts. PS runs slightly higher than BHP for the same engine, which is why the same car can appear to have two different power outputs depending on where you read about it. We show both so the comparison is like for like.

The figure that matters for insurance and value

Power output feeds directly into insurance grouping, and among enthusiasts it separates trim levels that otherwise look identical. If you are buying, confirming the recorded output is how you check that the car in front of you is the version the advert claims, rather than the entry level engine wearing the same body.

Frequently asked

How do I find out my car's BHP?

Enter your registration and the report returns the manufacturer's power figures for your exact vehicle in both BHP and PS, alongside torque and performance data.

Does higher BHP mean higher insurance?

Usually, yes. Power output is one of the factors behind insurance grouping, so two versions of the same model can sit in noticeably different groups.
