Kia's new engine boasts CO2 emissions of just 95g/km which means it is eligible for the London Congestion Charge discount and drivers will only have to pay an annual fee of £10 to drive into the centre of the capital for a year.
The Korean manufacturer has used Formula One coatings to reduce friction and boost economy.
According to the Telegraph, the engine has double overhead camshafts with variable timing and diamond-like coating for the tappets and low friction coatings for the pistons.
The new engine a stop/start system as standard, produces 81bhp, and can reach a top speed of 95mph.
