Lowest emission new diesel cars on sale in Ireland

    For the last few years the lowest emission versions of many small diesel cars that have been on sale in the UK have not been sold here. Eg "Eco" versions of the Renault Clio and small Citroens, Fiesta Econetic, Kia Rio 1.1d and Hyundai i20 1.1d. Maybe these models will now be introduced if the speculation about VRT/motor tax Band A (<120 g/km) being split up into A1, A2, A3, A4 turns out to be true.

    I notice that the new Clio is available with 83 g/km and the revised Megane with 90 g/km. These are now two of the lowest emitting and most economical diesel non hybrid cars on the Irish market joining the Skoda Fabia Greenline which has been on sale for a while. Depending on type of driving, these cars should be well capable of doing 80+ mpg. Official combined figure for the Clio is 88.3 mpg.

    Renault Clio 1.5 DCi 90
    83 g/km
    17,990

    Skoda Fabia Greenline 1.2 TDi 75
    89 g/km
    19,525

    Renault Megane 1.5 DCi 110
    90 g/km
    22,390

    The VW Polo Bluemotion 1.2 TDI is listed as 91 g/km and 18,830 on carzone. I seem to remember it being more expensive last time I checked. Seems strange that it is cheaper than the Fabia?

    The new VW Golf 1.6 TDI 105 will have a Bluemotion version in 2013 and will apparently emit 85 g/km. The current model emits 99 g/km and costs 24,510.

    What other cars are available with CO2 of 90 g/km or less?
