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.

Skoda Rapid

CO2 emissions from 94g/km

The Rapid looks a lot like the Octavia and it has similar amounts of cabin space, but it’s narrower, cheaper, less well-equipped and less plush. That said, as no-nonsense practical transport it’s fine, and the 1.6 diesel produces from 94g/km of CO2.
