A new green car for less than a grand series: No.4 Fiat 500- below £8,000

Fiat recently stunned customers and industry commentators alike when it announced the launch of an entry-level price of just £7,900 for the 1.2 litre Pop in January. The price is largely courtesy of the government reducing VAT. Prior to the VAT rate being reduced to 15%, the list price in the summer was a creditable £8,100. 

The Fiat 500 has been featured on these pages and is an award winning city car.

All other cars in the Fiat range benefit from the VAT cut: The Panda range,for example, starts at £6,859 for the 1.1 Active. You can see more details on these and other good value low emission cars at the Green Car Guide click here
