Sold for €37,400, this Toyota Yaris, a bit special, will see a jump of €35,346 on January 1, 2024. Here’s why.
Every January 1st, for decades, tax laws are updated. Energy prices, stamps, cigarettes… and the ecological penalty on thermal cars.
If you loved the car that goes vroom vroom, know that its days are now numbered. The urgency is to reduce our individual CO2 emissions in France by a factor of 8 by 2035, an almost impossible goal to achieve in such a short time. We must therefore make very weighty decisions with serious consequences.
One of the first measures was to pass a very strict ecological penalty for 2024. Now, the maximum cap has been raised from 50,000 to 60,000 euros, and not based on 226 grams of CO2/km as in 2023, but starting from 194 grams. A car exempted in 2023 with 122 g will now have to pay 150 euros. And so on, etc.

Some manufacturers have already stopped selling certain models even before 2024, knowing they would no longer be purchased. Others persist, but how long will they be able to do so? This is the case of the Toyota Yaris GR.
With a catalog price of €37,400, this splendid GTI emits 186 g/km. This will force its new owner to pay €35,346 in Penalty starting January 1, 2024. If you’re tempted to indulge yourself, do so before December 31, 2023: the same Yaris GR will cost you €22,794 less. Or a bit more if the dealer wants to get rid of the unit, fearing it will sit unsold.
Why €22,794? Because the 2023 Penalty for the Toyota Yaris GR was “only” €12,552. Almost tripling in just 12 months. This tax policy clearly encourages switching to electric.
We are talking here about a car with very limited production. Other more popular vehicles, but sometimes fuel-hungry due to lower sophistication, will also be heavily penalized.
Finally, know that the ecological penalty on emissions is not the only tax whose amounts are exploding. There is now also the Weight Penalty, explained here.
Choosing your car is going to become a real obstacle course…
