Cars with power up to 150 hp. How to calculate car tax by horsepower

Main for now Ford Focus 3 engine, this is a naturally-aspirated petrol unit of the Duratec series; in the ST version, a powerful turbocharged EcoBoost engine with a volume of 2 liters (249 hp) is installed. The restyled version of the Ford Focus III will most likely receive an Ecoboost engine with a volume of only 1 liter and a power of 125 horses as a base one.

Today we will take a closer look at the characteristics of the Ford Focus 3 engines. Let's start with perhaps the most powerful EcoBoost 2.0 turbo engine. We offer a photo of this power unit for clarity.

Engine Ford Focus 3 “Ecoboost” 2.0 has an all-aluminum cylinder head, the cylinder block itself is made of the same metal, there are 16 valves per 4 cylinders. This is a classic DOHC, with two camshafts. A timing chain is used as a timing drive. At 249 hp. torque is 360 Nm, which allows you to accelerate Ford Focus III ST to the first hundred in 6.5 seconds. All these indicators are achieved thanks to direct fuel injection and, of course, turbocharging. Detailed characteristics of the Focus ST engine are below.

EcoBoost 2.0 engine specifications (249)

• Working volume – 2.0 liters
• Horsepower – 249
• Power kW – 184
• Compression ratio – 9.3:1
• Torque – 360 Nm at 1750 rpm
• Maximum speed – 248 kilometers per hour
• Acceleration to the first hundred – 6.5 seconds
• Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 7.2 liters

By the way, the ST version with this engine can be not only a 5-door hatch, but also a station wagon.

Atmospheric Focus 3 engines of the Duratec family presented in Russia in four power options: 85, 105, 125 and 150 horsepower. Moreover, the first three have the same volume of 1.6 liters, the last is the most powerful 2 liter. Lowest power power unit 85 horses installed only on Ford Focus hatchback, in the cheapest configuration. This motor has total 8 valves, hence the low power, the rest of the engines are 16 valves. By the way, Focus engines with a power of 105 and 125 horses Duratec Ti-VCT have variable valve timing and 2-liter direct injection. The characteristics of the engines (and photos of the 2 liter one) are below.

• Acceleration to the first hundred – 10.9 (manual transmission) 11.7 (automatic transmission) seconds
• Fuel consumption in the combined cycle - 5.9 (manual transmission) 6.3 (automatic transmission) liters

Engine characteristics Duratec 2.0 (150)

• Working volume – 2.0 liters
• Horsepower – 150
• Power kW – 110
• Torque – 202 Nm
• Maximum speed – 204 (manual transmission) 200 (automatic transmission) kilometers per hour
• Acceleration to the first hundred – 9.2 (manual transmission) 9.3 (automatic transmission) seconds
• Fuel consumption in the combined cycle - 6.7 (manual transmission) 6.4 (automatic transmission) liters

Well now main question, timing chain or belt in a Ford Focus 3 engine. Let's sort it out in order. The engine has a working volume 2 liters with a power of 150 horses costs a chain in the timing drive. But the entire line of Ford Focus 3 engines has a displacement of 1.6 liters timing belt is worth. So, if there is an extraneous rustling noise coming from under the hood, it is better to check the condition of the belt, since its breakage does not bode well for you.

In Russia, owners of all types of vehicles, except agricultural ones, are required to pay transport tax annually.

These payments cover the costs of road repairs and maintenance, and also pay for damage to the environment.

The law introduced single scale transport tax for horses, but the Tax Code allows regions to increase and decrease rates at their discretion.

Although horsepower is no longer official unit measuring engine power in the Russian Federation, when calculating the insurance premium for compulsory motor liability insurance and the transport tax rate, it is still applied.

People themselves are also accustomed to this measurement. At the same time, many are concerned about the question of why the transport tax depends on engine power.

The logic of legislators is clear. The more powerful the car, the larger it is, and accordingly, it creates an increased load on the road surface.

Since repair costs are compensated by taxes, their amount for owners of more powerful vehicles should be more significant.

Engine power is usually measured in horsepower. 1 l. With. shows the power required to lift a 75 kg load to a height of 1 m in 1 s.

Usually this indicator is measured in kW, but the value of l. With. varies in some countries. In Russia, 1 horsepower is equal to 735.5 watts.

There are several methods to determine the horsepower of a vehicle engine:

1. If you have documents for the car, you need to look at them for the engine serial number. Then you should add the last 6 digits in pairs and divide the result by 8.5. The resulting value is the number of horses.
2. You can look for a service center that has units for calculating engine power. They allow you to set the value to 100% accurate.
3. Knowing the power in kW, you should multiply it by 1.35962.
4. You can divide the car's power by 0.735, but the result will not be as accurate as in the previous case.

The law does not establish a uniform procedure for calculating the number of horsepower, so measurements may be difficult. The tax office recommends rounding the resulting value to two decimal places.

The rate according to the Tax Code depends on the number of litres. With.

Detailed table of transport tax by engine power, current for 2019:

Thus, the transport tax varies depending on the engine power: the greater it is, the higher the rate.

For example, the amount of tax on cars and trucks changes every 50 horsepower. If the rate is 150 l. With. equals 5, then for 170 horses it is the same, but for 200 horses it will already be higher.

For other types of transport, there are most often only 2 tax rates - one for engine power up to 100 hp. s., the other - for a power of more than 100 hp. With.

If we consider what the transport tax is for 150 horses in different regions, it turns out that in some regions of the Russian Federation it is zero, and in others it reaches 25 rubles. for 1 l. With.

This variation is explained by current legislation. Regional authorities have the right, at their discretion, to reduce or increase the rate tenfold.

For example, for cars with engines up to 100 hp. With. The tax rate in the Perm Territory, Vologda Region, Bashkiria and Sakhalin is a maximum of 25 rubles.

In the Kaluga, Kaliningrad, Tomsk regions, Khakassia and North Ossetia, this figure is significantly lower - 5-6 rubles.

In the Khanty-Mansi and Nenets Autonomous Okrugs, as well as in Chechnya, the tax rate is zero for vehicles with an engine power of up to 150 horses.

How to calculate the amount of payments?

Owners Vehicle there is no need to calculate the amount of tax - the Federal Tax Service will do this for them.

Federal Law No. 52 of 04/02/14 requires citizens to independently register their vehicles, which are subsequently subject to tax. Otherwise, the car owner faces a fine.

Another situation with legal entities . Their law obliges them to independently calculate their transport tax and submit data to the Federal Tax Service in a timely manner.

It is not difficult to make such calculations: you need to clarify the tax rate at the place of registration, and then simply multiply it by the number of horses in the car.

Transport tax is levied on all vehicles equipped with engines.

However, there are exceptions to this rule. The Tax Code of the Russian Federation clearly defines until how many horses the transport tax is not paid.

It is not charged from passenger cars with a power of up to 100 horses, purchased with the assistance of social services, and motor boats with a power of no more than 5 horses.

Regardless of the number of l. pp., vessels used by industrial enterprises for fishing and transporting goods, as well as agricultural machinery, are not taxed.

In many regions zero rate The tax also applies to cars converted for the needs of disabled people, and for cars of large families.

Hello. Please tell me, I am a combat veteran, registered in Moscow. I have a VOLVO S80 car. 204 hp I know that I don't pay tax up to 200 hp. Will I pay the full car tax or will there be any discounts for me? Thanks in advance.

During the test drive Skoda Kodiaq In Mallorca, journalists were allowed to test a crossover not only with a 1.4-liter gasoline engine, but also with a 2-liter diesel engine. True, not the most powerful 190-horsepower, but 150-horsepower. We invite you to find out whether the representatives of the Czech portal Auto.cz liked it.

The 2.0 TDI with 150 horsepower and 340 Nm of torque should play a major role in Kodiak sales. Although most of the questions and comments regarding car engines relate to the gasoline line, diesel engines in the SUV segment still remain in great demand, which is noted by Skoda itself.

When testing the Kodiaq with the 1.4-litre petrol engine, we wrote that it was sufficient for a relaxed drive. Unsurprisingly, the same can be said for the turbodiesel crossover, which has 90 Nm more torque than the TSI of the same power. This should compensate for the heavier weight of the diesel version. Judge for yourself:

• Weight Kodiak with engine 1.4 150 hp with DSG and all-wheel drive TSI – 1625 kg (1668 kg in the 7-seater version).
• Weight of Kodiaq with 2.0 TDI with manual transmission and all-wheel drive is 1,705 kg (1,748 kg in the 7-seater version).

The diesel KodiaQ behaves best at medium speeds; at low speeds it drives with less enthusiasm than its 1.4-liter “brother”. Maximum performance from the engine can be obtained at 2,000 – 4,000 rpm.

Unlike the crossover we tested with 1.4 DSG diesel car was equipped not with a DSG robot, but with a manual transmission. There is absolutely nothing to criticize about her work. The manual transmission responds to commands as clearly as possible, and any driver can only dream of such clutch pedal operation as in KodiaQ.

The Kodiaq with a 1.4-liter engine is praised for its excellent sound insulation. As for the diesel version, it is also quite quiet, but still the diesel is louder gasoline engine. But in terms of fuel consumption, the 2.0 TDI beats the 1.4 TSI. We test drove the Skoda Kodiaq diesel on winding roads and highways at varying paces and ended up with an average consumption of 7.1 liters per 100 kilometers. For a 1.4-liter gasoline engine, this figure was about 10 liters.

We liked the handling of the Kodiak 2.0 TDI, as is the case with the crossover equipped with the 1.4 TSI engine. The car's behavior on the road is very stable; I was pleased with its agility on winding mountain roads. Again, I can't stress enough that the car we tested was equipped with adaptive suspension. The chassis is certainly well soundproofed.

The Kodiaq is based on the MQB platform, but not the same version as the Superb. It was adapted for use in crossovers, and also modernized to accommodate a third row of seats. For towing heavy trailers, the KodiaQ has a massive clutch with a dual-mass flywheel capable of transmitting high torque.

For testing electronic systems There wasn't much time for driver assistance, but it's worth noting that the Kodiaq has a trailer assist function. I really liked LED headlights– they shine brightly and far away.

I liked the new Columbus multimedia system. Its 8-inch monitor is pleasing to the eye, and the complex responds quickly to commands. Very convenient to watch videos with rear camera when you need to know what's happening behind the car. True, this function takes a little getting used to - at first, based on the image on the monitor, it seemed that the obstacles were further away than they actually were.

It's comfortable to sit behind the wheel of a crossover. The seat can be lowered quite low. For my taste, the driver's seat could have been made a little larger, but this is a subjective opinion.

But there are questions about the visibility of the Kodiak. The outside rear view mirror connected to the A-pillar creates a serious blind spot. Some will not like the center console - you can hit your knee on the gearshift lever. Fortunately, the plastic is soft and does not leave bruises.

There is enough space on the passenger seats, the seats are standard and easily adjustable. Getting into the third row isn't exactly easy, but it's not a problem if you treat the booster seats like a place for kids. Adults can also fit in the back, but only for short trips because they'll have to put up with the awkwardly low seating position the whole way. At the same time, the space above my head and in front of my knees was quite enough for me with my 183 centimeters of height.

The Kodiaq, like all other Skoda cars, has a lot of smart solutions. The doors are protected by special plastic linings, like in the Ford Focus. There are bottle holders between the front seats, a pair of umbrellas in the front doors, and a removable flashlight in the trunk.

The first experience of driving a Skoda Kodiak left a positive impression. But, of course, the crossover definitely needs to be tested in more difficult conditions than the Spanish Mallorca.

Most car enthusiasts nowadays are interested in the issue of not only increasing gasoline prices and the cost of cars, but also the amount of car tax. It is no secret that in the world and in Russia in particular, there has been a trend towards the use of more economical and less powerful cars, because the size depends directly on the engine size. We have already written about the peculiarities of paying transport tax in Russia and its calculation. Now let's talk about the changes that await car enthusiasts in 2019.

Will there be a vehicle tax increase in 2019?

From January 1, 2013, the tax on high-power vehicles was increased, thanks to the corresponding amendments made to. This means that for cars with engine power from 410 hp. With. and a year of manufacture later than 2001, the rate increased from 15 to 300 rubles. for each horsepower, and for scooters and motorcycles with an engine power of 150 hp or more. With. - from 5 to 25 rub. But in reality, the rates have increased much more: regions are allowed to increase them up to 10 times.

On the other hand, this increase in the tax on motor vehicles did not affect ordinary motorists, because there are only 20,000 cars of this class in Russia, 7,000 of which are registered in Moscow and another 1,000 in the Moscow region.

As for 2019, the Government has decided not to increase the transport tax in the new year.
