Yep, but they're not completely accurate, auto trader also states the T4 to get 31.7mpg combined yet I happily average 35+ and have seen as high as 40. On paper the T5 should be a quicker car than the T4 given it has 230hp against the T4s 200 but we have two T4s in the household and a 2009 S40 T5 R-Design and everyone agrees that the T4 is the quicker car.

I've personally recorded 6.8 to 60 on my OBD adapter in my car, that's quicker than the official figures, quite a few on here also agree that 7.3 is a tad over what the T4 will really hit 60 in
