Not long ago, we published a list of SUVs available in Germany with the highest mileage possible. But what about - at least on legal terms - how much CO₂ a car produces? Never fear. Auto-News has a list of the "cleanest" SUVs on sale in Germany (and I'd say most of the EU), all of them producing less than 200 g/km of CO₂, so it complements that previous list which had no information about CO₂. Just remember that automakers should have an average of 130 g/km in four years' time.

Most of these models are also available in the U.S. but, as usual, without the high-mileage diesel powerplants Europeans love. The list is after the jump. Vehicles with DPF (Diesel Particulate Filters) have these letters added to the marque and model. The picture above shows the SUV in the 20th position, the SsangYong Actyon 200 Xdi 4x2.

As you can see, the winner is a sub-compact crossover. Most of the models and all of the engines (save one) are unavailable outside Europe. Regarding ISOFIX latches (for child safety seats), all models except the small Suzuki, have at least two.
