Low emission cars: under 120g/km CO2

What is special about cars that have CO2 emissions less than 120g/km?

These cars will all fall into the lowest two categories for road fund licence - group A and B, this means that they will be eligible for a much lower level of road tax.

Petrol Vehicles with 120g/km CO₂ or less
Diesel Vehicles with 120g/km CO₂ or less

Vehicles that meet Euro 4 Emission Limits (Current Standard)

PETROL VEHICLES WITH 120g/km CO₂ OR LESS

 

DIESEL VEHICLES WITH 120g/km CO₂ OR LESS

In using the tables of information, it may be helpful to note the following:

• Models are listed under the name of the manufacturer or importer.
• The figures are obtained by running an example of the listed vehicle over a fixed route in a laboratory on a rolling road under closely controlled conditions.
• The results of the fuel consumption tests are shown both in litres per 100 kilometres (l/100km) and in miles per gallon (mpg).
• CO₂ emissions and the results of the exhaust emissions test are shown in grammes per kilometre (g/km).
• The fuel cost of driving 12000 miles is calculated using the combined fuel consumption figure and an average fuel price which is assessed each year. Currently it is 106p/litre for petrol, and 113p/litre for diesel and 56p/litre for LPG.
• The external noise emitted by a car is shown in decibels as measured on the A scale of a noise meter (dB(A)). The A scale was devised to 'weight' the reading of a noise meter so it more closely represented what is heard by the human ear.
• It is important to note that figures shown in the booklet are for comparison of different models and will not necessarily be the same as the fuel consumption, emissions levels, or noise levels actually achieved on the road. For this reason it is not advisable to rank a number of vehicles for which very similar figures are quoted.
• The test to test variability in type approval local pollutant emission figures (on the far right of the tables) means they are of only limited value in comparing vehicles and caution should be exercised when considering these figures.
• CO₂ Information - The CO₂ figures shown are representative of the vehicle tested and may vary between specifications (variants/versions) of a given model. As such the figures are indicative only. A definitive figure for a given specification (variant/version) will be available at the point of sale.
