Automatic Hyundai ix35: higher tax?

The question
Hello, in your review of the Hyundai ix35 CRDi 2.0-litre on November 24, 2010 you state that the CO2 emissions are 147g/km. I have bought that model registered in 2011 and the emissions are 187g/km on the reg. cert resulting in much higher road tax.
Can you explain the difference please?
Thank you

Hi Seamus,
By any chance is yours the automatic version, with the larger 18-inch wheels? We tested the manual gearbox version that did indeed at the time have a CO2 emissions rating of 147g/km, whereas the automatic model, with four-wheel drive, was rated at above 180g/km.
