Question 4

Is a new diesel Mercedes still worth it in Switzerland?

For long distances, towing or a loaded van, a diesel uses less fuel than a petrol of similar power. In cantons that tax weight and power, such as Vaud or St. Gallen, a heavy diesel SUV pays more each year, so check your own canton.
