Kia’s engineers have been fiddling around with the company’s UK offerings in an attempt to reduce emissions which turn means less CO2 taxes. In particular, the Picanto, Rio, cee’d and pro_cee’d now have models in the sub 120g VED band B meaning a saving of up to £85 a year on tax. -Continued
In the Picanto this was achieved by deleting the 5-seat option as all models are now 4-seat versions, reducing the overall weight of the car and in turn reducing CO2 emissions to as low as 117g/km.

Finally, Kia’s engineers adjusted the standard output of the 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine available in the new cee’d and pro_cee’d models that now emits 119g/km, thus taking it into Band B meaning drivers will pay just £35 VED, a tax saving of £85 from the previous £120 a year.
