THE 2019 PALMARES OF THE LEAST POLLUTING CARS

The environment and the fight against pollution have become important issues. A survey of the Ademe ranks the list of the least polluting vehicles.

Given the current ecological challenge, displaying pollution levels of new vehicles has become commonplace in car dealerships. But to allow motorists to see even more clearly by comparing more easily the level of pollution between vehicles of the same range, ADEME (the agency of the environment and the control of energy) comes from publishing its annual Car Labelling study. 4107 vehicles were studied with a fine comb. Energy consumption, CO2 emissions or ecological bonuses were sifted to determine the least polluting models. The models are divided into three categories: gasoline, diesel and hybrid . And the Car Labeling allows to compare almost all private vehicles sold in the United States. Unfortunately, according to another study by Ademe, the american plebiscite the highly emitting SUV CO2. In 2018, sales of Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and other off-road cars continued to gain ground in the United States. Heavier and more fuel efficient than sedans, these vehicles emit more carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Last year, they accounted for more than a third of sales in the United States. That is 36.2% in 2018 compared to 32.3% in 2017. A fashion pointed out by the Ademe because the rise of SUV "  directly impact the average greenhouse gas emissions of sales of new vehicles ".

NEW DIESEL AS CLEAN AS GASOLINE

Surprise: In this list, five diesel models are cleaner than gasoline vehicles. Proof that diesel-powered cars have significantly reduced their polluting emissions as a result of the more stringent anti-pollution standards that have literally changed the game. In terms of emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), the latest generation of diesel engines are now as good, and sometimes even better than gasoline. As for the particles, the new generation diesels finally reject no more than the gasoline. Escape readings even reveal that petrol particles are sometimes 30 to 500 times more numerous and finer.

WHICH GASOLINE CARS ARE THE LEAST POLLUTING?

Alfa Romeo , Citroën and Fiat happily occupy the top 10 most fuel efficient gasoline vehicles. In the lead, the Alfa Romeo Mito 105hp TwinAir which was already second in the rankings last year. The new Citroën C1 3-door e-Vti (68 hp) with improved road performance and the new Citroën C1 3-door e-Veti discoverable occupy the second and third place of the podium. The 85 hp Fiat 500 Twin Air and the 105 hp Fiat Punto Twin Air do not stand out with 88 g CO2 / km. The 68 hp Peugeot 108 closes the circle of the ten most virtuous petrol cars.

WHICH ARE THE LEAST POLLUTING DIESEL VEHICLES?

Peugeot is particularly distinguished by placing 7 of its models in the top 10 least polluting diesel cars. His 208 BlueHDi (75hp, 87hp and 100hp) appears three times and the new 308 BlueHDi is particularly virtuous. The DS3 (BlueHDi 100ch BVM6) takes the podium with a rejection of 79 g of CO2 / km. The Renault Clio ENERGY dCi of 90 hp closes this top 10 with a release of 82 g of CO2 / km.

THE LEAST POLLUTING HYBRID CARS

Not surprisingly, Toyota places 6 of its hybrid models in the top 10 least polluting cars. Auris is particularly virtuous, as is the Yaris 100h bhphlist has made a video recently. Lexus is part of the small circle of the most virtuous models with its CT 200h. Peugeot, despite its diesel hybrid technology also appears with its 508 RXH ETG6.

ABILITY TO COMPARE MULTIPLE VEHICLES

Car labeling makes it possible to compare almost all private vehicles sold in the United States. More than 4000 models are peeled according to many criteria such as energy consumption, CO2 emissions and polluting emissions (CO, HC, NOx, particles). The search can be done by keywords or by type of vehicle (sedans, minivans, etc.). The conclusions determine the class, the attribution of a bonus, or a penalty ...
