Options to have unlimited access.
These are the 5 cheapest cars with an ECO label that you can buy right now. And it is that if you are thinking of buying a car in this new year that we have just launched, reviewing the environmental label that is assigned is essential. As you know, from now on cars that do not have an ECO or Zero label will have restricted access areas in cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants. And this is a big problem, but a very big one.
Fiat Panda
A Fiat acquaintance could save your life, and is that who does not know the last name Panda? The Fiat Panda has a version among its ranks that can convince you, by price and by label. In addition, it has two options, one more adapted to the big city and another with more adventurous aspirations. It looks good, no doubt.
In the range of the little Italian we find an option with a 69 hp gasoline engine associated with a light hybridization system. Precisely this slight detail gives it the long-awaited ECO label. It is an engine with only one liter of displacement supported by this system that declares a consumption of 5.1 liters per 100 km.
And its price is quite a claim, because you can get it for about 14,400 euros. If you are looking for more field-oriented emotions, you have the Cross, which goes up in price by about 4,000 euros. With this you will have a car of less than four meters in length and a trunk of about 225 liters ready for anything.
Dacia Sandero
It would be very strange if we talked about cheap cars and a Dacia did not appear. It seems as if we were invoking them in this way. But its positioning is clearly linked to the acquisition price, which is usually among the lowest. In the case of the Dacia Sandero we find a version with an ECO label that can solve the “ballot”. Attentive.
This is the variant with a three-cylinder turbocharged engine combined with LPG, a 100-horsepower version that announces consumption of less than four liters per 100 km. This combination of engine and model costs us about 14,600 euros, not bad if you are thinking of buying a new and cheap car.
As you know, we are talking about a model of contained measurements, with about 4.09 meters in length. Its trunk is more than enough for day to day, and weekend getaways, why not. Available we find the Stepway version with the same engine but about 1,000 euros extra.
suzuki ignis
We continue advancing in this TOP of cheaper cars with an ECO label and we come to the Suzuki Ignis, another car with interesting capabilities and low cost. Like its rivals, it has versions with an ECO label, the cheapest being the one that mounts a 1.2-liter gasoline block with electrical support.
This small electric motor adds about 3 CV and makes it eligible for the ECO label. Consumption is about 5 liters per 100 km, not bad for a car that offers a very spacious interior. And it is that despite its size, which does not reach four meters in length, its interior is quite baggy.
If we talk about prices in this case we will find ourselves exceeding 17,000 euros. Of course, we have before us a car with a ground clearance of 18 cm and the possibility of having all-wheel drive. Not bad little boy, not bad!
Kia Rio
Another well-known in the lists of the best in quality and price, the Kia Rio. A car capable of offering great benefits for a reasonable price. The Kia and Hyundai brands have taken the Spanish market by storm in recent years, being able to position themselves as the best sellers thanks to a very complete offer.
In the case of the Kia Rio, we are talking about a utility vehicle of just over four meters in length with a very attractive appearance. Among its list of mechanical options, a 100-horsepower engine with a Mild-Hybrid system stands out. This block has a liter of displacement and a turbo system to provide it with energy. All with a consumption of 5.1 liters per 100 km.
The starting price of the cheapest version with an ECO label is 18,200 euros, because for a few more euros we could have a 120 horsepower variant in our garage. A perfect car to dominate the city without worries.
Renault Clio
At this point it is important that we point out a rule that we have imposed on this list. In our desire not to repeat the brand, we have left behind the Fiat 500, the Suzuki Swift, the Dacia Logan and the Duster, among others, which are cheaper than the Renault Clio and also have versions with an ECO label.
But focusing on the French, a car with different versions, we will talk about the TCE LPG, a car with a 100-horsepower turbo engine that uses LPG to get the ECO label. It is the most economical version, a variant that mounts a 5-speed manual transmission. You can choose from four trim levels: Life, Intens, Zen and RS Line.
Its starting price is 19,500 euros, and as you can see it still does not exceed 20,000 euros, another rule that we imposed on ourselves at the beginning of writing this TOP. As you well know, the Clio is another large-capacity utility, very reputable and with plenty of technology to satisfy the customer.
