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.

Volkswagen Up

CO2 emissions from 0g/km

The Volkswagen Up is a sister vehicle to the SEAT Mii and Skoda Citigo, and like those cars, some versions use fuel-saving technology to help reduce CO2 emissions. In fact there's even an electric version, which produces no CO2 at all - but we'd go for a petrol instead.
