The luxury car began showing up at the dealership late last year. “With the new eight-cylinder engine (…) 640 horsepower, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and easily reaches 300 km/h. It is the fastest production Cayenne ever built”emphasized the two-minute spot with which he appeared on social networks.

The podium is completed by a BMW M5 CS that in the course of the year must pay $542,000 to the commune in whose jurisdiction it circulates and a Land Rover Defender that will be charged $513,000 for license plates. Close up –although below the half-million-peso range– are a Mercedes Benz AMG GLE 53 4Matic Coupe with departmental taxes of up to $343,000 and an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio with a patent of $334,000 for the run of the year.

The updated data from the Congress of Mayors does not imply that the mentioned cars and trucks have the most expensive license plate in the country, but refers only to vehicles registered last year. The highest belongs, in fact, to a McLaren prior to 2022 that circulates in Soriano and that this year will have to pay more than one million pesos for this concept.
On the other hand, the departmental taxes do not indicate that these are the most expensive vehicles. This is due to the fact that the municipalities calculate a patent at half the value when it comes to electric cars in relation to those with a combustion engine. In fact, electric or hybrid vehicles account for almost 80% of the high-end vehicles that were registered this year in the country: there were 687 out of a total of 864.

On the other hand, there are 922 that correspond to models registered in previous years, and that complete a total of 1,786 high-end cars – distinguished by a market value of more than US$ 100,000 – that are on the streets of Uruguay.

In a head to head match, Montevideo will be the one that pockets the most money this year ($59 million) thanks to the new patents that expensive cars purchased in 2022 must pay, closely followed by Maldonado, which will receive $58 million. That podium, with a wide advantage over the rest of the country’s departments, is inverted when the models registered before this last year are also considered, totaling more than $134 million for the Fernandina commune and $121 million for the capital.
Montevideo and Maldonado will have more than 600 high-end cars each touring their territory in 2023. Canelones appears far behind, with 127 luxury vehicles registered in that jurisdiction, followed by San José and Colonia with 38 each. In all departments, without distinction, cars or trucks worth more than US$100,000 are circulating.
Land Rover Defender
According to the internal report of the Congress of Mayors, there were 17 brands that at the end of last year brought a high-end vehicle to Uruguay: Alfa Romeo, BMW, Audi, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Lexus, Maserati, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Tesla (only two registered in 2022), RAM, and Volvo.
