Hyundai will release a green version of its new i30 hatchback in January 2008 with claimed emissions of 119g/km.
The green i30 will be placed in the B Group for VED, meaning a drop from £115 to £35 per year.
And tax for business drivers will drop from 18% to 13% under new regulations which cut tax for business drivers of diesels emitting less than 120g/km.
Meanwhile the Congestion Charge will not apply to this latest new i30 under new proposals.
The new version of the i30 is powered by an 89bhp 1.6-litre turbodiesel equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter.
The new model is available from £13,000 with ESP, air conditioning and alloy wheels as standard on all versions. The i30 is also covered by Hyundai’s five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty.
Full prices for the new i30 CRDi will be announced nearer the car’s launch.
Potentially significant savings for Londoners.
