I don't think there will be the sensationalist expectations some publications are announcing for diesel.
After all its a previous government that encouraged diesel sales by (as typical of politicians) not having all the facts.
They had the opportunity to slow new diesel sales with the VED changes, and they didn't so I can't see them doing a lot else than a smallish levy in future. I do believe they ought to be discouraging new diesel sales, but not hitting current owners for doing what was encouraged in the past.
2.0 Tsi too thirsty Colin ? Check the Skoda figures, 4x4 petrol engines with DSG are very similar, and from experience I would say the 2.0 is probably going to do better real world than the 1.4 simply because it won't be working so hard to pull a heavy car.
Admittedly I have the benefit of being a low miler, so fuel consumption is not a major issue for me.
I expect the Kodiaq won't be much different MPG than my tsi vRS, its heavier with less power and 4WD, but I won't be as inclined to be as spirited
Yep, £500 first year tax on 2.0 tsi, up from previous £300, but then the annual VED is the same (£140) for all of us as long as we haven't gone over 40K list.
At the old rate , it would have been £210 a year thereafter for the 2.0 tsi so I'm happy about that
