New year and also new eco-incentives for buying a car. The state bonuses for the year 2023 provide for the allocation of 630 million euros to buy a low-emission vehicle. The real novelty lies in the fact that the vehicles eligible for incentives include all those with emissions between 0 and 135 g/km. This means that there are no limitations relating to the power supply which, therefore, can be diesel, petrol, electric, hybrid or gas. The lower the carbon dioxide emissions, the higher the contributions.
Let’s see the 2023 car eco-incentives in detail:
- The first emission band, the one between 0 and 20 g/km which includes electric cars (up to eight seats), provides for an incentive of 5,000 euros with scrapping and the list price of the vehicle not exceeding 42,500 euros (VAT included), or 3,000 euros without scrapping. 190 million are made available for this type of vehicle.
- All plug-in hybrid vehicles are included in the emission range between 21 and 60 g/km and benefit from a contribution of 4,000 euros with scrapping and a list price of up to 55,000 euros (VAT included), or 2,000 euros without scrapping. 235 million are dedicated to this bracket.
- These are followed by vehicles with other fuels but with emissions between 61 and 135 g/km, for which the contribution is 2,000 euros only with scrapping.
- 150 million will then be allocated for electric commercial vehicles and 40 million for motorcycles and mopeds.
Indispensable conditions are that the vehicle to be scrapped is of a category lower than Euro 5 and that the maximum period between the stipulation of the contract and the delivery of the vehicle does not exceed 180 days. Reservations on the appropriate platform, ecobonus.mise.gov. it, will start from Tuesday 10 January at 10:00 and will be entered directly by the dealers.
The most affordable models
Since the planned eco-bonuses will only be sufficient for around 75,000 buyers, we recommend that you hurry up in making your choice. To this end, here is a small guide that could help motorists find their way around a market that can sometimes appear chaotic and overcrowded.
One of the best-selling internal combustion engine models, even in the past year, is the new French SUV Citroën C3 Aircross which offers excellent value for money, as well as extraordinary versatility and handling, especially on city fabric. With the 2,000 euro eco-bonus (in the event of scrapping) and the 2,200 euro Citroën Store discount, the list price passes to the promotional price of 20,700 euro.
Among the models that will very likely be confirmed among the most famous also for the year 2023, there is the new Dacia Duster, a highly successful sport utility vehicle thanks to very low prices compared to its rivals.
