Leading value car brand Chevrolet has come up with a model that will save its customers even more money, with a new version of the popular Matiz 0.8S city car. On sale now in the UK, the Matiz with 0.8S manual comes with reduced CO2 emissions of just 119g/km, meaning it falls into the Band B road tax classification. This means a Matiz buyer will pay just £35 a year at current rates to tax their car, compared to £115 for the previous Matiz 0.8S.

What’s more, if you live in or around London, then from October 2008 the Chevy will avoid one levy altogether, by waving ‘bye-bye’ to the London Congestion Charge. Under new proposals, the scheme proposes a 100 per cent discount to all vehicles with CO2 emissions of below 120g/km from having to pay to enter the zone, subject to a £10 registration fee.
