Road tax for a 2011 Toyota Urban Cruiser
The Vehicle Certification Agency lists 4 petrol and diesel versions of the Toyota Urban Cruiser in its data from May 2010 to August 2011, from 129 to 130 g/km CO2 [3]. A car first registered from 1 March 2001 to 31 March 2017 is taxed by CO2 band, so that is band D, £170 a year at the 2026/27 rates [2].
Versions listed, not cars sold: this does not say how common each band is. The CO2 figure on the car's V5C log book decides its band. Car tax calculator for a 2011 car
Car tax and ULEZ for a 2011 car
A car first registered in the UK in 2011 was issued a 60 (January–February), 11 (March–August) or 61 (September–December) plate, unless it was registered in Northern Ireland (no age identifier) or has since moved to a private plate. An imported one is plated when first registered here, so its plate can be newer than its first-use year. 11 plates
A 2011 car is taxed by its CO2 emissions band (A to M), shown on the V5C logbook. [2]
For the London ULEZ, a 2011 petrol usually meets Euro 4, and a 2011 diesel usually does not meet Euro 6. The Euro standard of the car decides, not the year alone. [4] ULEZ checker
