Following the discovery of leaked engine specs, Auto Express can reveal that the city car will be one of the first models to meet Euro V emissions regulations, even though the stricter limits won’t come into force until 2009.
The 500 will initially be offered with three engines – 69bhp 1.2-litre and 100bhp 1.4 petrol units, plus a 75bhp 1.3-litre diesel. Its cleanest petrol motor will emit only 119g/km of CO2, while the oil-burner produces 111g/km. The 500 will go on sale in the UK early next year.
