Hyundai i40 running costs should be cheap thanks to the standard Five Year Triple Car package. The package includes a five-year warranty, five years of roadside assistance and five years of vehicle health checks. The 113bhp 1.7-litre diesel engine with Blue Drive should be the cheapest model to run with an average claimed efficiency of 65.7mpg. Insurance costs shouldn’t be too onerous either.

The greenest model on the Hyundai i40 range is the 113bhp 1.7-litre diesel engine fitted with Blue Drive technology (including stop/start and low rolling resistance tyres), but if your lifestyle needs more power and you still want to drive a ‘green’ car then you’ll be pleased to know that your Hyundai i40 emissions will be kept in check with the higher-powered 134bhp diesel engine with Blue Drive that emits CO2 at a rate of 119g/km.
