Which is the most environmentally family car on the market?

Answer 1

It would have to be a hybrid model. The Toyota Highlander Hybrid seats seven and is regarded as an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV)

Answer 2

Well it's NOT the Prius for a start, just watch any motoring programme to tell you that.

And as for all those electric/hybrid ones, what are all you Enviromentalists going to do with all those old batteries?

Looking after the enviroment isn't just about something that uses less petrol, you have to look at the big picture and that's where most of these so called enviromentally friendly cars fall down.

They cost more and cause more damage during manufacturering than normal cars, in tests are the same or worse than most modern engines for fuel consumption and are FAR worse when it comes to disposing of them.

Don't waste your money, buy a economical petrol or diesel knowing your making a better world and put all your green efforts into other ways such as recycling.

Answer 3

It depends on your reference point for the environment, and also on the type of driving you do.

For urban driving an electric car or hybrid will produce less emissions when driving. However, the emissions from an electric car depend upon how your electricity is generated.

For higher-speed or constant speed driving, a modern diesel car will produce less emissions while driving.

However, the simpler the car, the less emissions produced during its manufacture, so in this case a Jeep is more environmentally friendly than a hybrid.

Also, the closer the car is assembled to your home, the less emissions produced getting the car to you.

So it all depends on where you live, what sort of driving you do, how long you intend to keep the car, how many miles you do.

Answer 4

If on a budget, try a modern small engined car such as the smart brand. They have small efficient engines and come in 2 seat, 4 seat and convertible models. They also have the advantage of paying less annual road tax
As everyone is saying the alternative if you have a healthy budget is a Hybrid Electric. These are now manufactured by several of the main Companies and also benefit from reduced annual road tax. (They are also cool to listen to driving past!.)
The other option is to get an LPG powered car, again Manufactured by the main companies but I don't know about the tax advantages.
