As most of our readers probably know by now, the “green” credentials for a car in Europe are often based on how much CO2 the car produces. In fact, most of the new taxes applied to cars depend on this indicator, which is also connected to the car’s fuel efficiency. Therefore, it is key for European consumers to know a car’s CO2 figure. That makes this list from AutoNews of Germany’s top 20 low-carbon cars. Included are many small displacement diesels, the two most famous hybrids on the roads, a micro-hybrid and even a few 1-liter gasoline cars. Pictured above, one of the top 20. Follow us after the jump for the complete list.
