Yesterday Citroen announced two new low-emission models that are exempted from London’s congestion charge, and now Vauxhall comes up with eight! We were astonished too when we first heard this, but turns out it is eight trims of only one car, the Corsa, all powered by the same engine! So it’s really just one model, not eight.
Vauxhall’s eight Congestion Charge-beaters start with the Corsa 1.3 CDTi ecoFLEX Start/Stop 3-door S model, which emits just 94g/km and 78.5mpg on the combined cycle, and up to 91.1mpg on the extra-urban cycle. Seven more sub-100g/km Corsa ecoFLEXs are available in a host of different trims, as well as in five-door form too, but all still emit less than 95g/km.
