Suzuki Vitara is an 8"CV" car: https://www.neowebcar.com/puissance-fiscale/suzuki/vitara/1-... which would incur €6250 tax.

(It's amazing how well Bloomberg's propaganda has worked here, hasn't it?)

6000 Euro tax for a 15000 euro car. I'd call it significant enough and ridiculous enough to be more than mere propaganda. But you're right, the figures I had in the mind were for the Jimny, not the Vitara. Over 10000 tax for a car that's less than 20000 euro.
