6 Models of Greenest cars in Melbourne The convenience and goodness of the world
For hundreds of thousands of Melbournites, there is simply no reasonable transportation alternative for the car. The stations have limited parking and insecurity usually very full. Depending on where you live and work, dancing bus-tram-train can obtain not only time consuming but also costly. And if you have children to drop out along the way, public transport is simply not worth the strain on your mental health! But you do not have to resign yourself to be one of the guys from the bad environment - today we see some of the most environmentally friendly cars in Melbourne. It may be a city without a car, but we can improve our green credentials!
1. Toyota Prius 1.5L hatch
Priusees started to become available as used cars in Melbourne's only recently - before 2009 or so, only new models were available, and there were long waiting lists for those! With fuel consumption 4.4L/km, saving the purchase of these vehicles in a city without a car in a very positive work ... the more you can feel good about it. Performance is quite good, and the hybrid drive system has been improved since the first generation a decade ago.
2. Honda Civic Hybrid
These cars are rated Melbourne greenhouse even more (8.5) than the Prius (which scored 8 runs on the Choice magazine), and they use fuel only slightly - 4.6 liters per 100 km. The technology of these cars is used Melbourne Vey friendly and the build quality is fantastic.
3. Citroen C3 1.6L manual
These small cars in Melbourne received a rating of 5-star overall Choice magazine, with a consumption of 6.2 liters per 100 km and from 8.5 to ten degree of air pollution. They are premium unleaded, but they are well equipped and have great handling and driving characteristics. Immobiliser, central locking and automatic locking are standard on most models.
4. Hybrid Lexus GS 450h
Yes, we focus on green cars used in Melbourne luxury car is not used! The Lexus is perfect for buyers who want to feel fantastic in every material sense, and their contribution to love the planet's health. Its fuel consumption is almost double that of the Prius, but still quite respectable at 7.9L per 100 km.
5. Smart Fortwo 0.7L Auto
These little cars seem strange today, but certainly the way forward. Their standard combustion engine runs on premium ULP, and gets a 4.8 L per 100 km neat. It feels more like a scooter or bike ride with a noise more than most of us are accustomed, but it is surprisingly easy to park and actually quite comfortable to sit in
6. Mercedes-Benz A200 2.0L
Again, while Mercs are better known as a luxury car a green car, the manufacturer has put much effort in the future to check their offers. A200 used in Melbourne and rated green credentials with Choice magazine, scoring 8.5/10 for air pollution and 7 / 10 for impact greenhouse. As might be expected, they are more expensive than other cars in Melbourne their size range, but have an excellent safety and comfort, and great interior space despite their outward appearance.
