Euro6 vehicles have the lowest emissions and should be able to enter some cities where they’re setting up low emission zones. I think in UK London is one of them, Stockholm in Sweden, Germany had a bunch in development. In the latter case the judicial branch there said the change must be gradual and Euro5 was sufficient for at least a few years more.
If you expect to go to such a place regularly or keep the car for a longer period it probably makes sense to get one with the lowest emissions. Seems popular to beat up diesels right now.

When Euro 6 and AdBlue was applied, the CO2 output dropped from 213 to 203g, so all cars from the final facelift, in 2014, will have cheaper VED
I’d go for a Euro 6 car, if possible, to avoid the worst of the anti diesel hysteria.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: FL2 as a second car
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!
