Kelisa Storms To Top Slot In Cap Value-For-Money Chart
Published: 28th January 2002
CAP provides expert market analysis to future residuals values of new vehicles and bases its findings on ownership costs, purchase price, fuel, servicing and, most importantly, depreciation costs over a three year/60,000 mile period.
"The Kelisa’s frugality springs from its new price – it is Britain’s least expensive new car to buy at £5,300," said Spencer Loney, whole life cost analyst for CAP Monitor.
"This is slightly more than the outgoing Nippa - which topped our chart for two years until Smart was launched in June 2001 - but with its improved specification, including enhanced safety features and power steering, the Kelisa is forecast to have a slightly higher value when it enters the used market."
Kelisa boasts an extremely high standard specification that includes
driver and passenger airbags, side-impact protection, seat belt pretensioners,
power-assisted steering and rear door child locks. It boasts an environmentally
efficient 1.0 litre petrol engine with CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) emissions
of just 121g/km, economy of 64.2 mpg over the Extra Urban cycle and a
Group 3 insurance rating
