Peugeot launches Blue Lion eco-standard

Tom Richards, 08 August 2008 14:35

Peugeot has launched its Blue Lion standard, the French company’s answer to the Bluemotions, iBlues and EfficientDynamics of this eco-aware world. The Blue Lion standard is here to help Peugeot's customers identify its, err, greener cars. Only cars that produce less than 130g/km CO2 and are 95 percent recyclable at the end of their lifecycle qualify. Fifty models in Peugeot’s current ...

VW Golf Bluemotion 1.9 TDI 5dr (2008) CAR review

3.5

Dan Trent, 08 July 2008 11:30

Blue is the new green and Volkswagen's eco-friendly line-up continues to grow. Alongside the Polo and Passat, the Golf has now had the Bluemotion treatment – but at what price? If you want that silver sliver badge on the front, it'll cost you as much as £1290 over the price of a comparable regular TDI Golf. Order a five-door Golf ...

Ford Mondeo 1.8 Econetic (2008) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 04 July 2008 00:00

Another week, another mainstream model that's been 'greened'. Ford is launching Econetic models across its range – with the common goal of boosting economy and battering emissions. The new Mondeo Econetic goes on sale in July 2008 and it enters a pretty busy sector; we've already tested numerous VW Bluemotion models as well as Seat's Ecomotive versions. The Mondeo follows ...

VW Passat 1.9 Bluemotion (2008) CAR review

4.5

Richard Aucock, 24 June 2008 09:23

The Passat Bluemotion is part of a burgeoning range of eco-Volkswagens. The Polo Bluemotion started things off, but it is the dearer, more mainstream stuff - like the Passat - that will make VW money. Indeed, UK stocks of the Passat and Golf are already sold out for months. What have they done to make Blue go green? More than ...

Ford Focus 1.6 Econetic (2008) CAR review

4.5

Glen Waddington, 30 April 2008 12:44

Ford’s gone green with the Focus Econetic, so you can put that order for a Toyota Prius on hold. Stick a pair of sill extensions and narrow tyres on a Focus, lower it, and you get a drag factor of 0.31 and a class-leading carbon output of 115g/km. It even comes with a natty little Econetic badge on the bootlid, ...

Mercedes' new E-class scooped

Ben Pulman, 09 October 2007 09:39

Merc's new E-class arrives in 2009, and should be very, very clean. Merc's Bluetec technology, which squirts urea (basically the toxins found in your pee) into the exhaust to cut NOx emissions dramatically, should be available on all its diesels. The petrol engines will gradually get more and more of the technology first seen in the F700 concept car at ...

Seat Ibiza Ecomotive

2.5

Ben Barry, 12 September 2007 07:28

Seat Ibiza Ecomotive: the lowdown Even the Spanish went green at Frankfurt. Using the Polo BlueMotion’s 1.4-litre TDi engine, longer gear ratios and Dunlop tyres that generate less friction, the Ibiza Ecomotive will deliver 74.3mpg and emit just 99g/km CO2, meaning it is tax exempt and, should Ken Livingstone’s recent proposals be approved, get into London’s Congestion Charge zone for ...

Mitsubishi Concept-CX

Ben Pulman, 31 August 2007 10:55

The Concept-CX looks like a Lancer supermini? Close, but no cigar. This is Mitsubishi’s Concept-CX and it shares the frontal styling (which the company describes as ‘a tight and powerful wedge’) and twin-clutch gearbox with the forthcoming Lancer Evo X. What the hot Lancer won’t get will be the company’s new 1.8-litre diesel engine that's in the cX. Due to ...

Ford Focus ECOnetic

Ben Barry, 28 August 2007 04:52

Car manufacturers will be tripping over themselves to look leaner and greener at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show. Today Ford throws its hat into the ring with the Focus ECOnetic. Usually when a car manufacturer announces lowered suspension and an aerodynamics kit for its medium-sized hatchback, it goes hand-in-hand with extra power and a GTi badge. Not so Ford, which ...

Land Rover offsets CO2

Mark Nichol, 06 August 2007 10:45

Land Rover is giving more of its customers the opportunity to tick the ‘guilt reduction’ box on the options list of their 4x4s by extending its carbon offsetting scheme. In September 2006, Land Rover introduced a scheme to let new-car buyers offset their CO2 emissions for the first 45,000 miles via a one-off green tax of between £85 and £165. ...
