Emissions summary

Tacuma is quite a polluting model. With an average of 227 g/km CO2 across the model line-up, its emissions are a little high for a people carrier. It's worth noting that the line-up does not feature any diesel models, which typically produce less carbon dioxide than petrol engines with similar power outputs. The range is not very frugal, averaging 32 mpg.
