To be ULEZ compliant, cars must meet specific emissions standards. The standards for ULEZ-compliant petrol cars are generally Euro 4, Euro 5, or Euro 6, and they were generally registered after January 2006. ULEZ-compliant diesel cars must be Euro 6 compliant and were generally registered after September 2015. Hybrid and electric cars also have specific emissions standards to meet in order to be ULEZ compliant. Fully electric cars are exempt from the ULEZ charge, while hybrid cars and mild hybrids must meet Euro 4 or 6 depending on their fuel type.
Some popular ULEZ-compliant car models include the Nissan Leaf, Honda Jazz, Suzuki Sport Swift, Ford Fiesta EcoBoost, Skoda Octavia, Toyota Prius, Volkswagen Golf, Audi A3 Sportback, SEAT Ibiza, Kia Ceed, Renault Zoe, MINI Electric, and Hyundai Kona. Its important to note that while the cars in this list should be compliant based on their age, its recommended to use an online ULEZ checker to confirm compliance.
In summary, to determine if a car is ULEZ compliant, its essential to check if it meets the specific emissions standards based on its fuel type and registration date.
