Originally, the A1 TDI was quoted as having a 105g/km CO2 figure but that has been tweaked to a mere 99g/km, earning the vehicle a free road tax status.
In addition, this gives an average fuel economy of 74.3mpg, making the vehicle not only road tax free but exempt from the London Congestion Charge.
This applies to all models of the A1, including the “racy-looking S-model.” This could prove vital to car buyers living in the city who want to save cash on the road tax and the congestion tax.
The greener engine for the A1 is available in all models – SE, Sport and S Line – and ranges from £14,480 to £17,865.
