2007 Model Year Flex‑fuel Vehicle Eligibility
Canadian drivers are looking to lower their fuel bills. The ecoAUTO Rebate Program gives them a good way to do it!
As part of the Government of Canada抯 plan to protect the environment, the ecoAUTO Rebate Program encourages Canadians to buy fuel-efficient vehicles. How? It offers rebates from $1000 to $2000, to people who, beginning March 20, 2007, buy or enter a long-term lease (12 months or more) for a fuel-efficient vehicle.
With the ecoAUTO Rebate Program, the Government commits $160 million over two years to offer performance-based rebates on new light duty vehicles.
What Vehicles get Rebates?
Automakers are making real progress in offering fuel-efficient vehicles, so a growing number of makes and models qualify for the ecoAUTO Rebate. The list of eligible vehicles is established by Transport Canada. The list will be reviewed as fuel consumption performance of new vehicles improves ?and their fuel efficiency ratings become available.
The list currently includes:
New cars getting 6.5 L/100km or better and new light trucks getting 8.3 L/100km or better. The list features hybrid electric and highly energy efficient vehicles. In addition, new flexible-fuel vehicles with combined fuel consumption E85 ratings of 13.0 L/100km or less will be eligible. For the 2007 model year, these are:
