Odesa is among the leaders in Ukraine in terms of the number of cars subject to the luxury tax that were imported into the country in 5 months of 2025.

According to analysts of the Opendatabot platform, a total of 131 such cars have been imported into the country since the beginning of the year, and 14 of them have been imported to the South of Ukraine - 12 to Odesa and two to Mykolaiv.

Also, 12 cars were brought to Lviv region. Dnipropetrovs'k region is slightly behind Odesa and Lviv, where nine luxury cars were imported despite the fighting.

However, the majority of these cars (43%) went to the capital, and another 13% to Kyiv region. This is 56 and 17 cars, respectively.

47% of all cars are charged with electricity, and another 23% with electricity or gasoline. Premium gasoline cars take only third place: 19%.

63% of all cars imported to Ukraine that are subject to the luxury tax this year are Porsches. In particular, the Porsche Taycan and Porsche Cayenne E-hybrid are popular - 41% and 8% of all cars respectively.

Mercedes-Benz is in second place, with 21% of all cars. Mercedes-Benz s 450 and Mercedes-Benz s 580 4matic are the most popular among Ukrainians, accounting for 15% of the total number.

This year, the most expensive car was spotted in Kyiv - Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge at a price of 700 thousand dollars. Also on our streets you can find a Rolls-Royce Spectre, which costs 600 thousand dollars.

Every year, the list of cars subject to transport tax is updated in Ukraine. Currently, there are 338 such models, but last year there were 468 more.

From January to April, owners of expensive cars paid UAH 87.2 million in tax. This is 12% or UAH 9.2 million more than in the same period last year. The largest number of taxpayers is expected to be in Kyiv - UAH 26.5 million.

This tax is paid by owners of cars manufactured no more than 5 years ago and costing more than UAH 3 million. Accordingly, the tax rate per premium car is UAH 25 thousand.
