Toyota Prius - From £18,345 - CO2 104 g/km, 65mpg
Toyota Prius - From £18,345 - CO2 104 g/km, 65mpgThe current European Car of the Year award winner the Prius takes an unconventional approach to energy savings. It’s a hybrid, which mates a small 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor. This unusual combination allows the Prius to get along as efficiently as possible, the electric motor taking over at slow town speeds, the petrol engine assisting when more urge is required.
It all works eerily well, though the savings would be even more impressive if the electric motor were mated to a super efficient turbodiesel. Unlike the majority of the cars here, the Prius is a family hatchback rather than a supermini, but you do pay for that technology as at £18,345 it’s not cheap, but if low CO2 emissions are your primary concern – nothing beats it.
