(Mon 25 Jan 10) The first ecoFLEX low-CO2 version of the new Vauxhall Astra will go on sale in the UK in April. Fitted with a 94bhp 1.3-litre turbo diesel engine, the ecoFLEX has higher gearing, an ECU programmed to keep down fuel consumption and various aerodynamic tweaks.
The result of all this is official combined fuel economy of 67.3mpg and CO2 emissions of 109g/km, resulting in annual VED payments of £35 and a 13% Benefit In Kind tax rating for business customers. The ecoFLEX will be available in the S, Exclusiv, SE and SRi trim levels, priced from £17,920. Comment on this story on Facebook or Twitter.
