The battle for the lowest CO2 emissions is a really close one in the supermini sector. Particularly when looking at the more premium end of the market, there is a lot of choice below even 95g/km.

While the Mini puts in a decent performance in terms of how expensive it is to run at 42.1p per mile, it actually has the highest CO2 output at 95g/km compared with the Audi A1 Sportback five-door, top trim Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo, and the three-door DS 3.

As a result, it pushes the Mini one benefit-in-kind bracket higher than its rivals, resulting in a more expensive monthly cost for the company car driver.
