Kia is are thinking of the environment and motorist’s pockets by reducing emissions on Picanto, Rio, cee’d and pro_cee’d models. All four ranges now have models in the sub 120g VED band B meaning a saving of up to £85 a year on tax. Each of these models also offers over 60mpg meaning precious and expensive fuel will go further.
All Picanto models are now four-seat versions, reducing the overall weight of the car and in turn reducing CO2 emissions to as low as 117g/km. This makes Kia’s smallest car not just kind to the environment but kind on your wallet too.
The Rio supermini has also had some attention, reducing emissions on the 1.5-litre CRDi engine to 119g/km. Continuing to reduce emissions on diesel engines, Kia has adjusted the standard output diesel engine available in the new cee’d and pro_cee’d models. The 1.6-litre CRDi engine now emits just 119g/km with an economical combined fuel consumption of 62.8 mpg. This makes its emissions lower than ever taking it into Band B and just £35 VED – a tax saving of £85 from the previous £120 a year. Couple this with Kia’s unique seven-year, bumper-to-bumper warranty makes Kia an irresistible choice.�
