In which road tax categories are the Hyundai i30, Suzuki Swift, Renault Modus and Seat Ibiza?
I need a new economical hatchback, but with plenty of luggage space and top of the range spec. I am looking at the Hyundai i30, Suzuki Swift, Renault Modus or Seat Ibiza and would be grateful for your advice as the dealers do not mention the road tax for each model. Is it worth paying for an Ecomotion in the Seat Ibiza range? Presumably when I have chosen the exact car and model, Drivethedeal would be the best price.

You can get a SEAT Ibiza ECOmotiv 3-dr SC, 5-dr or SW completely free of VED and Congestion Tax Exempt, if that is your primary concern. They do about 60mpg. They are the only cars on your list completely free of tax. Always check with brokers like Drivethedeal.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
