The awards can’t stop coming for the Toyota iQ which impressed the adjudicators in Britain’s Environmental Transport Association when they were going through files to pick what they think is Britain’s greenest automobile.
The ETA took into account 5,000 cars to draw to a conclusion. There were other findings that came out in this study. 42% of the 1,500 motorists who took part in the survey disclosed they were inclined to down-size.
The farthest you can possibly down-size in Britain would be to go for the iQ which emits just 99g/km of carbon dioxide. Power, emissions, fuel efficiency and the noise were the other leading factors that they took into account while choosing the iQ.
Andrew Davis, director, Environmental Transport Association -
There has never been a more important time to make fuel efficiency a deciding factor when choosing a car.
