THE Skoda Superb – our current favourite in the family car sector (see our Best Business Cars supplement) – is going to benefit from emission reducing and company car tax saving technology.
Skoda’s range of low CO2 cars – called GreenLine, very similar in nature to Ford’s ECOmotive range – has been revamped for better fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions.
That means the spacious Superb hatch and Estate will qualify for 13% company car tax, thanks to CO2 emissions of 114g/km and 64.2mpg economy.
But it’s not just the Superb that has it in for the tax man in Skoda’s new GreenLine range. Every model in the complete Skoda range has an updated low emission GreenLine version.
For example, company car drivers opting for the smaller Octavia hatch or Estate in GreenLine trim will pay company car tax at the rate of 13%, while there’s also the benefit of 100% writing down allowances for companies that prefer to buy their company cars.
The Skoda Octavia GreenLine has fuel consumption of 74.3mpg and CO2 emissions of 99g/km; the Estate has 67.3mpg economy and 109g/km CO2.
The GreenLine treatment – a combination of aerodynamic tweaks, lowered suspension, low rolling resistance tyres and optimised engine tuning on the 1.6 TDI CR 105bhp and 1.2 TDI CR 75bhp engines – was introduced at the recent Paris Motor Show.
