Question 1

How is car tax calculated for a Mazda in Vaud?

Accepted Answer

On total weight at CHF 0.15 per kg up to 2,500 kg, plus CHF 1.60 per kW up to 100 kW and CHF 4.00 above. For a car registered from 2021, its WLTP CO₂ then gives 90% off below 118 g/km, down to a surcharge from 187 g.

Question 2

Does an electric Mazda MX-30 pay car tax in Vaud?

Accepted Answer

Not at first: a new electric car is exempt for 24 months in Vaud. After that its weight counts 25% less and it gets 90% off, so an MX-30 or CX-6e stays cheap to tax.

Question 3

Which Mazda suits winter in the Vaud Alps and the Jura?

Accepted Answer

A CX-30, CX-5 or CX-60 with all-wheel drive handles the roads to Villars, Les Diablerets or the Vallée de Joux in winter. The MX-5 is rear-wheel drive and best kept for summer along Lake Geneva.

Question 4

Where do you register a used Mazda in Vaud?

Accepted Answer

At the Vaud road traffic office, the Service des automobiles et de la navigation, with the Fahrzeugausweis from the seller and proof of insurance. The seller keeps the plates, so you move your own or get new VD plates.
