The car uses a combination of the latest common-rail diesel powertrain together with other features engineered to reduce CO2 emissions to the absolute minimum. Measures to make it so fuel efficient include an engine re-calibration, lowered suspension, low rolling resistance tyres, and aerodynamic improvement through grille blanking inserts.
In addition, changed ratios of the transmission and the new low viscosity transmission oil contribute to this vehicle emitting less than 140 g/km CO2.
