Vauxhall offers eight models in its
range which are eligible for London’s new ‘Greener Vehicle
Discount’, which comes into force today and promises drivers of
Euro 5-compliant cars emitting 100g/km or less total exemption from the
Congestion Charge.
The Greener Vehicle Discount, or GVD,
replaces the Alternative Fuel Discount, which previously favoured
hybrid-powered vehicles, even if they were more polluting than some
conventional petrol and diesel-powered cars. To be eligible for GVD,
vehicles simply need to emit less than or equal to 100g/km of CO2
and meet the latest Euro 5 emissions standards to qualify for a 100 per
cent discount (subject to an annual £10 registration fee).
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.
And there are two more good reasons to
take advantage of the Corsa’s thrift and efficiency.
Firstly, the latest Corsa has a fresh
look, along with a raft of stunning new colours and equipment for 2011,
and this combined with its latest Start/Stop technology and chassis
revisions make it not only a great driver’s car, but one that stands out
from the crowd.
Driving a sub-100g/km car like the
Corsa will also save you even more in Congestion Charge than before,
since from today the fee rises to £12 if paid by midnight on the
charging day after travel or £10 if paid in advance or on the day of
travel*, meaning that drivers commuting in to the zone on a daily basis
could pay as much as £60 per week.
“We’re committed to offering our
customers the most efficient and economical cars in the UK,” said Duncan
Aldred, Vauxhall’s Managing Director. “Not only do our Corsa ecoFLEX
models ease the pain of ever increasing fuel costs, but some models are
now set to save London commuters even more expense. We also welcome
Boris Johnson’s announcement that electric vehicles will be eligible for
GVD, which will include our Ampera E-REV when it goes on sale in early
2012.
