GREENEST CAR MAKERS: Eco-rating the top 20 brands

Date: 16 May 2013

 

6.= Audi 62%

Like all the premium brands, Audi scores well on power for the emissions, but struggles because it has nothing below 95g/km, with both the A1 and A3 on 99g/km. Overall emissions fell strongly last year and Audi is the joint-top premium brand here with BMW.

6.= BMW 62%

Highest CO2 per bhp

The long-time low-emission champion thanks to its Efficient Dynamics technology, BMW struggled in this survey as it doesn't yet have any models below 95g/km, and only has one that breaks 100g/km. New i3 electric and plug-in models are this year's exciting news.

6.= Citroen 62%

Citroen offers a variety of low-emission models, from electric to diesel hybrid and diesel, and is well under its EU emissions target. It does though struggle in terms of CO2 versus power. The 88g/km DS5 Hybrid4 model is particularly impressive.

6.= Ford 62%

Ford is another brand, like BMW and Audi, that is on the verge of launching into the electric and plug-in arena. For now, an 87g/km Fiesta and an 88g/km Focus are the highlights, while there's a vast range below 120g/km. Local air pollution is the weak point.

6.= Vauxhall 62%

Vauxhall's scores are mainly high or low, with a good number of models below 95g/km and a huge amount under 120g/km, but the firm's average emissions for fleet cars last year were high. Local air pollution and lack of near-future progress harmed the overall result.
