Better reason is displacement tax in overseas markets.
If that was the case it would be 3.0 L TT. 3.6 doesn't help overseas.

In China over 3.0 gets hammered. Over 4.0 is almost double again.


China Passenger Car Tax Rates


Displacement Current rate Adjusted rate

≤1.0L 3% 1%
>1.0L, <2.0L 5% 5%
>2.0L, <3.0L 9% 9%
>3.0L, <4.0L 15% 25%
>4.0L 20% 40%
