What are the running costs?

This section is nice and short. There are no diesel engines or manual gearboxes on offer at all. Official fuel consumption for the 1.5-litre hybrid ranges from 65.7-68.9mpg, while official CO2 figures range from 92g/km to 98g/km.

It’s certainly more efficient than the pure petrol alternatives out there, while small diesels are becoming harder and harder to find. A Honda Jazz is nearly as efficient, though.
