Top 5 green saloons and small family cars

Saloon cars make an ideal solution for many people, from growing families to business executives. Many offer space and pace, but this need not be at the expense of eco-credentials. TheGreenCarWebsite.co.uk outlines its 'Top 5 Green Saloons and Small Family Cars' currently available on the market. There are not necessarily the lowest emission models around. We've tried to strike a balance between eco-credentials and affordability. We warn you now, that's a subjective balance, we're striking:

• Toyota Prius T3 Hybrid 1.8 VVT with 89g/km CO2 and 72.4mpg combined.

• Volvo S60 DRIVe with 94g/km CO2 and 78.5mpg combined.
• Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi 115ps (Start-Stop) with 109g/km CO2 and 67.3mpg combined.
• BMW 1 Series 116D with 99g/km CO2 and 74.3mpg combined.
• Mazda6 2.2 Diesel with 108g/km CO2 and 67.3mpg combined.
