Car Loans customers looking for a vehicle that can help them reduce their carbon footprint and save money at the pump may want to consider the latest offering from Fiat.

According to the manufacturer, a new option on the Fiat 500 improves the model's fuel consumption and reduces its CO2 emissions.

The Fiat 500 Start&Stop system turns off the engine automatically when the vehicle comes to a complete halt and fires it up again when the driver wants to move off.

Managing director of the company Andrew Humberstone said: "This is an important development for the 500 as it will help to make what is already a fuel-efficient, value-for-money car an even greater consideration for town and city drivers."

Priced from £9,500, the new version of the model offers CO2 emissions of 113 g/km on the 1.2 engine and fuel savings of up to 12 per cent.

Last month, the Fiat 500 was named City Car of the Year by BusinessCar magazine.
