40,000 euros. This is the additional cost that will be paid by a French person buying a new car from January 1, 2022 with the maximum penalty. Like every end of the year, the automobile penalty undergoes a facelift. Or rather, a weighting cure, formalized by a decree whose publication is expected this Friday. This first concerns the “traditional” penalty, linked to the CO2 emissions of each vehicle. The 2022 vintage starts with 128 grams of CO2 emitted per kilometer traveled, against 133 grams per kilometer in 2021. Above all, the maximum penalty is greatly increased, from 30,000 euros for emissions of 219 g / km to 40,000 euros for 224 g / km. For example, the large Audi Q7 diesel SUV, which emits 216 g / km, will end up with a penalty of 32,094 euros. Compare this to a base price of nearly 72,000 euros.
