Ford has reduced the emissions of its C-Max 1.6-litre diesel model to 119g/km of CO2, which has dropped it a VED road tax band. Fuel economy has been improved, too.

The reduction from its previous level of 124g/km means the annual VED road tax rate will now be £35 instead of £120, and will fall to £30 from April 2009.

Average fuel economy has been increased from 60.1mpg to a 62.8mpg. The price remains unchanged, starting at £15,805.
