Full list of 59 car models facing £2,000 rise in car tax from April

A list of 59 cars has been confirmed to face a £2,000 increase in vehicle excise duty. The most significant impact will be on drivers with new luxury and performance models emitting over 255g/km of CO2 with the rate soaring by an eye-watering £2,745 to £5,490 annually.

Starting from April 2025, while the standard road tax rate will only rise with inflation, any car bought post that date emitting more than 75g per kilometre of CO2 will incur a substantially higher road tax bill. The rates for first-year road tax are set to double across all higher CO2 bands, a move expected to generate £400m for treasury funds next year and £1.7bn by the end of the decade, reports Birmingham Live.

According to the budget briefing document: "The government recognises the disproportionate impact of the current VED Expensive Car Supplement threshold for those purchasing zero-emission cars and will consider raising the threshold for zero-emission cars only at a future fiscal event, to make it easier to buy electric cars."
