Average 2013 new car CO2 emissions is 128.6g/km; average fuel economy around 55mpg.
SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said: "Robust private demand has played a major role in this growth with customers attracted by exciting, increasingly fuel-efficient new models that offer savings in the cost of ownership. This is the 19th consecutive month of steady growth and, with fleet and business demand still to reach pre-recession levels, we believe the performance to be sustainable."
