The higher road tax, BIK and fuel prices have sent car manufacturers into a race of who can make the most fuel efficient car with the lowest CO2 figures. A worthy contender for the race is the Volvo C30, that has some fantastic specifications when it comes to saving the world, making this likely to be firm favourite when it comes to business leasing.
So lets look at the figures of the Volvo c30, first it can do up to 85.6 mpg on a single gallon of diesel and its CO2 emissions are as low as 99g/km (visit the volvo spec sheet) this is from the 1.6D DRIVe with Start/Stop (109 PS) model which is clearly designed for those wanting to save money.
These figures are lily to keep used values of the Volvo C30 high, which is good news for those intending to lease a Volvo C30 either for private or business use. The downside is that is lacks a bit of power and the physical size does not match the tradition square shaped design, but you can see elements of the Volvo P1800 there (the car the Saint drove).
Browsing through the other Volvo models and it is clear, for now it is this baby they are relying on to win the low Eco challenge from the Germans, lets see if sales match Volvo's commitment to make a an Eco car suitable for the private and lease market.
