Skoda's expanding range has a new addition with the introduction of its innovative GreenLine technology, delivering reduced CO2 emissions while maintaining driving performance.
GreenLine models produce less than 120g/km of CO2 and therefore fall into Band 'A', the lowest possible road tax and VRT category, resulting in annual road tax of €104.
Intelligent technologies in the GreenLine range include Start-Stop and braking energy recuperation.
Start-Stop turns the engine on and off automatically when the vehicle is stationary thus saving fuel during urban driving.
Working in tandem with Start-Stop is brake energy recuperation, which ensures kinetic energy that would have been wasted during braking is now used to re-charge the battery, helping to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Further efficiencies are achieved thanks to elements such as tyres with lower rolling resistance, modified engine control units and aerodynamic modifications to the body and chassis.
Skoda's Yeti GreenLine is the first, and only, band 'A' SUV in Ireland and proves that SUV-category cars can be economical and kind to the environment.
Skoda's GreenLine vehicles are now available for order in showrooms around the country for delivery in early 2011, with prices beginning at €17,950 for the Fabia.
The band 'A' Yeti is available from €23,165, while the Superb has a retail price of €24,915. Octavia and Roomster GreenLine are for sale at €22,600 and €19,800 respectively.
All prices exclude delivery and related charges.
