Driving my Camaro SS 6.2L in the EU for a few years. Possible?

Hello everyone,

It is very likely that I will be in the EU on business for a few years and I would love to be able to drive my own car while I am there. I am driving a 2017 SS 6.2L. I know the polution tax is quite high and I was looking around to see how I can possibly register the car first, then have an idea how much I would be looking to pay / year. But most websites I have visited want me to input the Euro polution thing this car has. Is it Euro 4, 5, 6? I have no clue. I Googled and the only relevant info I can find is for the 2021 SS and this one is Euro 6 compliant. I am not sure if a 2017 SS is also Euro 6 compliant.... My 2017 was built for Canada and the dash instruments are all metric (KM), however, the polution compliance standards for Canada are the same for the USA for this car.

I have not explored any insurance options yet, I wanted to first see how I can register the car first and how much would it cost / year in whatever CO2 / polution taxes.

I intend to return to Canada after my work is done there and obviously I would like to take the car back with me.

Also, I would like to also explore the option to drive the car with Canadian registration plates if there is a way, the car will only be used in the EU "temporarily" and I have no intention to sell it in the EU, it will return to Canada.

Thank you.

hi.
my 2017 is euro 6 compliant.
driving here in sweden is ok for only 6 months. more than that u need to register it here.

Thank you. Euro 6 is great news, it means lower taxes.

Out of curiosity, how much are the yearly taxes that you have to pay in Sweden to drive a car like this? You can PM me if you don't want to post it publicly. I know some EU countries have their own version of CO2 / Polution tax and it varies quite a bit from country to country. I picked one that I found a calculator online and it was roughly 3000 EU / year

. Also, I am not sure if I have the freedom to register the car in EU country with lower taxes and drive it in another, or I have to register in in the country I will be spending most of the time in.
