Switzerland had the highest price tags on new passenger cars sold in 2020, overtaking Norway for the first time in five years. Swiss people had to dig deeper into their pockets than any of their European neighbors, with prices roughly 15,000 euros higher than the EU-28 average. Reasons for automobiles being so costly in Switzerland are partly due to tax rates, which are set by each canton based on a set of varying criteria including but not limited to vehicle weight, powertrain, and CO2 emissions. These incentives contribute to making larger, heavier vehicles using petrol and diesel engines more expensive. The only vehicles exempt from taxes in selected cantons were electric cars. Electric vehicles are extremely popular in Norway, second in the ranking in terms of average vehicle price, in parts due to the VAT and tolls exemptions for electric vehicles in the country. Norwegian buyers are able to spend more on high-tech models.
