The Jimny will be £500 the first year then £140 every year afterwards.
Anyone thinking of a new car of any sort better buy it before 1st April 2017 as most small cars will be £140 per year.
Existing cars will continue with the current rates.

It's a bit harsh for a little motor but it is only for the first year. We would need a dealer who would tax the car as part of the deal.

The Jimny emissions are 162g which puts it at £500 for the first year but after that reduces to £140.
If you look at most small average cars after the first year they will ALL pay £140 so the days of cheap or zero tax will be gone.
A small car will now pay the same as a range rover or large 4x4 AFTER the first year.
All EXISTING cars will stay at the same rate.
The point I was making is that people will think twice about buying a new Jimny when they find out a 1300cc car is going to cost £500 the first year.
The Jimny will soon be getting replaced so won't
be available anyway lol
I presume you have an auto??
My 08 Jimny is app £210

The RR will cost £450 a year from year 2 to year 6 because the list price is over £40k, a small car costing less than £40k will cost £140 from year 2.
Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

One thing that has in the past put me off bigger engined cars was the road rent but now I am seeing myself in something bigger.....................if I buy new which is very very unlikely.

Even a new Jimny is out of reach lol
I'm sure anyone can do some research and come up with a sub 40k large car or 4x4 that would fall in to the £140 bracket the same as small cars.
As Helijohn says I have often considered something larger even a grand vitara but road tax killed that lol

But that's irrelevant. The tax is such a small part of buying an expensive new car that it won't change any one's buying habits. However at the Jimny end of the market it's a big deal.

I can foresee a rush for small new cars before the changeover.

I'm already looking to the future in a few years time. Three years old and used with £140 a year tax, bring it on.
