The VW Polo BlueMotion is tax-free
With a road tax increase around the corner, driving a tax-free car could save you between £35 and £950 per year.
There’s a growing range of band A vehicles which don’t incur tax, from the Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion to the Tesla Roadster electric sports car.
Do you drive a tax-free car, or know anyone who does?
From April 1 motorists will see a £5 increase in car tax, irrespective of what car they drive – unless it falls into tax band A.
Cars which emit less than 100g/km of CO2 are band A vehicles – and are exempt from road tax.
New band A cars bought between April 2010 and March 2011 will also avoid a “first-year rate” of up to £950.
Here are some of the cars which fall into band A and how much CO2 they emit.
Diesel cars
• Ford Fiesta ECOnetic – 98g/km
• Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion – 99g/km
• Seat Ibiza Ecomotive – 99g/km
Petrol cars
Electric cars
• G-Wiz – 0g/km*
• Tesla Roadster – 0g/km*
Upcoming cars
• Smart Fortwo CDi – 88g/km
• Smart ED – 0g/km*
• Lightning – 0g/km*
*Although there are no direct CO2 emissions from an electric car’s tailpipe, they burn more energy from power stations than standard vehicles.
