Two Fiat models appear in the top 10 best cars for fuel
economy of the new Which? Complete Guide to Greener
Driving, proving yet again the company’s green
credentials and commitment to helping the environment.
The Guide, which reviews the top 100 most economical cars
and offers practical advice on greener driving, reveals that
three cars break the 60 miles per gallon barrier – one of
which is the Fiat Panda 1.3 MultiJet, which returns 60.1mpg.
Still in the top 10 – in ninth place – comes the
sought-after new Fiat 500 1.3 MultiJet, which has been
winning thousands of new fans since its launch this year,
mainly for its stylish good looks, excellent running costs
and value for money. It manages 56.5mpg, according to
Which? analysts, who carry out their own stringent,
independent tests on the vehicles.
“It’s a win-win situation,” says Richard Headland, editor of
the Guide. “Choosing a greener car will reduce your carbon
tyre print, cost less in road tax, and you’ll save money
every time you fill up your car.”
“Fiat is well known for the fuel economy and low carbon
‘footprint’ of its cars,” says Andrew Humberstone, managing
director, Fiat Group Automobiles UK. “We are working to
continue to improve on our record and it is excellent news
when independent organisations, such as Which?
recognise the efforts we are making.”
The Fiat Panda range in the UK starts at £7,005 on the road
for the 1.1 Active and the 500 range starts at £8,100 for
the 1.2 Pop.
