1. Having a Diesel Car might grant you a rebate<\/span><\/h2>\r\nThe common misconception about Diesel cars is that they emit more carbon dioxide than a normal car. \u00a0However, many Diesel cars actually have a great fuel efficiency as less carbon emission is released through much longer clocked miles. There are plenty of this kind of cars in the market which fits the requirements by LTA. By using these cars you can get up to SGD 15,000 rebate!<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nCarbon emission band A diesel cars examples:<\/span>\r\n\r\nPeugeot 208\/2008\/308<\/span>\r\n\r\nVolvo S60 D2 <\/span>\r\n\r\nCitroen C5<\/span>\r\n\r\nsource: LTA<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"earth<\/a>\r\n

2. Most Continental Super Cars are qualified for extra tax<\/span><\/h2>\r\nThis should not be a surprise, as with great power comes a great amount of money needed to maintain it. \u00a0The faster your car, the higher the fuel consumption of an average car. In the revised band scheme such cars will result in SGD 30,000 more tax, just for power.<\/span>\r\n\r\nCarbon emission band C continental supercars examples:<\/span>\r\n\r\nBentley New Flying Spur W12 <\/span>\r\n\r\nAston Martin Rapide<\/span>\r\n\r\nRolls-Royce Wraith<\/span>\r\n\r\nsource: LTA<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"earth<\/a>\r\n

3. Some Japanese and Korean Cars are not as efficient as it looks<\/span><\/h2>\r\nMany believe that Asian cars tend to not release as much carbon emissions as compared to continental cars. \u00a0Some cars are even worse than some continental cars, and you might also get taxed up to SGD 30,000.<\/span>\r\n\r\nCarbon emission band C Japanese or Korean cars examples:<\/span>\r\n\r\nMazda 8<\/span>\r\n\r\nLexus RX270<\/span>\r\n\r\nNissan Elgrand Highway Star<\/span>\r\n\r\nSource: LTA<\/span>\r\n\r\nThis is the list that LTA published following the revision of the emission band.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"earth<\/a>\r\n\r\nSo, what is your take? Continental or Japanese? Diesel or Petrol?<\/span>\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s start saving our mother nature by buying a low emission car!<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere are 3 great cars in Carro that you can buy that has an initial A Banding from LTA.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"earth<\/a>\r\n\r\n\"earth<\/a>\r\n\r\n\"earth<\/a>\r\n\r\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
