Full list of cars to be hardest hit by tax hikes in days after 2025 rule change – is your motor affected?

Published on March 27, 2025 at 07:53 PM

CAR TAX will rise for most polluting motors in just days, following a 2025 rule change.

Over 60 vehicle types will see Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) double from April 1, in an increase of almost £3,000.

Any car that emits more than 255g/km of CO2 will be required to pay an extra £2,745

From next month, any car that emits more than 255g/km of CO2 will be required to pay an extra £2,745 to be allowed on the road.

This means that for some drivers, VED costs will spike to a whopping £5,490.

Additionally, the costly car supplement, for those in possession of cars worth more than £40,000 when new, will rise by £15, to £410.

This fee applies from the second to the sixth year that your car is on the road.

Vehicles manufactured between 2001 and 2017 have their tax determined by the amount of emissions they produce.

Following the changes, diesel motors will face average increase of £1,114, compared with a £503 average for petrol drivers.

Hybrid owners will pay between £135 and £327 extra, depending on the specific model they buy.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced changes to the VED tax during the Autumn Statement, revealing that her aim is to strengthen incentives to purchase zero-emission and electric cars by making petrol and diesel motors more expensive.

However,all zero-emission electric cars, includingTesla‘s best-selling Model Y, will also be forced to pay VED from April 1- although it’s unlikely to break the bank.

Indeed, EV drivers will only be paying the lowest showroom tax rate – just £10.

One car that will see a staggering increase in tax is theAudiA3.

By far the cheapest Audi A3 to tax from 1 April next year will be the brand's plug-in hybrid variant, the '40 TFSI e S-Tronic', which puts out CO2 emissions as low as 7g/km CO2.

However, the sporty RS3 version will cost a staggering £3,300 to tax for 12 months.
