The displacement cc and emissions are main factors but as I know what also affects it's certain ranges of year of construnction.

The tax laws are not based on fuel economy or vehicle weight or size

Now the emissions are for sure affected by the weight of the vehicle and also by aerodynamics therefore SUVs should be higher in tax but that's only logic so not sure if and how much.

What I mean is: Having a big engine isn't a lot more expensive over here.

So my top example, the 4L 600hp 620€ tax, isn't much higher then your example, the 1.4L (I would guess around 100hp) 90€ tax? Are you serious about that?
