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.

Volvo XC90
CO2 emissions 64g/km
This plug-in hybrid version of the new XC90 uses the same trick as most plug-ins to get low emissions figures – it operates as a pure electric vehicle over a limited range. Once the battery loses its charge the petrol engine takes over. The XC90 is a truly impressive machine, with a fantastic cabin and plenty of high-tech features
