Kia Reduces Emissions on Picanto, Rio, Cee’d and Pro_cee’d models

Kia’s engineers have been fiddling around with the company’s UK offerings in an attempt to reduce emissions which turn means less CO2 taxes. In particular, the Picanto, Rio, cee’d and pro_cee’d now have models in the sub 120g VED band B meaning a saving of up to £85 a year on tax. -Continued

In the Picanto this was achieved by deleting the 5-seat option as all models are now 4-seat versions, reducing the overall weight of the car and in turn reducing CO2 emissions to as low as 117g/km. The Rio supermini has also had some attention, reducing emissions on the 1.5-litre CRDi diesel engine to 119g/km.

Finally, Kia’s engineers adjusted the standard output of the 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine available in the new cee’d and pro_cee’d models that now emits 119g/km, thus taking it into Band B meaning drivers will pay just £35 VED, a tax saving of £85 from the previous £120 a year.
