ADVERTISING FEATURE: Honda's Budget beaters
Date: 23 March 2007
The Chancellor had gas-guzzling 4x4 firmly in his sights for this year's Budget, and a 30% increase in road tax and rises in fuel duty make these cars more and more expensive to run.
However, there is a 4x4 that can beat these tax hikes. The Honda CR-V diesel has the emissions and fuel consumption of a family estate. Its road tax has only gone up by £5, and 43.5 mpg on the combined cycle certainly takes the sting out of fuel price increases. Company car drivers will also see the benefit as the CR-V sits in one of the lowest tax bands for any SUV.
Many businesses have already seen the benefits of running Honda Civic Hybrids, after this year's budget they make even more sense. Road tax halves to only £15 per year and the special low company car tax band announced last year for the cleanest vehicles continues for another year. From April 2008 until March 2010, Civic Hybrid drivers will pay company car tax based on only 10% of the vehicle's P11D price.
