ok.co.uk:

Fifty-nine cars from 24 brands, including popular manufacturers like Ford, BMW and Mercedes, are set to face a £2,745 car tax increase come April 2025.This is due to significant changes in Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) rates announced in the Autumn Budget by Labour.The first-year VED fees for petrol and diesel models will see a substantial rise from April 2025.These are considerable fees that owners of brand-new vehicles have to cough up before they switch to the standard rate.

Fees will escalate on a sliding scale, with most of the higher tiers seeing their fees double from their current 2024 rates.

Models emitting over 255 g/km of CO2 are set for the highest £2,745 increase, affecting some of the most popular vehicles on the road.This means common mid-market brands such as Ford and Toyota will have some models affected.

Luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes and Audi will also feel the pinch. Moreover, high-end vehicles will bear the brunt of the change, with some models of Porsche, Lotus, Lamborghini and McLaren set to face the new tax, reports Lancs Live..
