Almera Tino is relatively green and easy on the environment. With an average of 184 g/km CO2 across the line-up, its emissions are quite low for a people carrier.

Diesels typically produce less CO2 than petrol engines with similar power outputs.

The range is not particularly economical, averaging 38 mpg.
