The Sub-100g/km Club

Annual vehicle tax can be a significant part of a car’s running costs. The rate of road tax or, to give it its official name, Vehicle Excise Duty, is determined by a car’s CO2 emissions. The lower the CO2 emissions the less you have to pay.

Some cars offer the first year free, but incur a charge thereafter. But others, if the CO2 is low enough, allow owners to renew the VED free of charge year after year. The current threshold for that is 100g/km and a surprisingly high number of cars now qualify.

DS 4

CO2 emissions from 100g/km

Using the same engine as the smaller DS 3, buyers of the compromised DS 4 get emissions of below 100g/km. But the DS 4 is hard to recommend – it’s not very good to drive, it’s not very practical and it’s not very well priced, quite unlike the smaller DS 3.
