The versatile Qubo mini-MPV is the latest in Fiat’s range to
benefit from eco:Drive, the in-car system that can
save fuel and reduce emissions. eco:Drive, which
allows drivers to download a record of their driving style
from car to computer with a USB memory stick, and learn how
to reduce their impact on the environment, is already
available on other Fiat cars, including 500, 500C, Grande
Punto and Bravo.
Launched by Fiat in 2008, the free-of-charge, award-winning
system helps motorists understand the impact of their
driving in terms of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and
offers suggestions on how to improve efficiency further by
changing driving habits.
“We want our cars to be fun, but they must also be practical
and environmentally-friendly,” says Andrew Humberstone,
managing director, Fiat Group Automobiles UK. “Offering
eco:Drive on Qubo will help to spread the benefits of
this technology, helping drivers to improve their driving
efficiency, saving fuel and reducing their impact on the
environment.”
Four versions of the Qubo are available in the UK with
prices ranging from £9,755 to £12,350. There are two
engines, the 119 g/km CO2 1.3-litre MultiJet turbodiesel and
a perky 1.4-litre petrol, plus Active and Dynamic trim
levels that incorporate a generous amount of standard-fit
equipment.
