Buy a new Skoda Fabia (old model) and see the world, well, possibly.

  • Significant savings possible on Fabia as part of ŠKODA’s 0% VAT equivalent offer
  • Reductions of up to £2,949 available on hatch and estate models
  • Buyers encouraged to spend their saving windfalls on adventures and travel
  • Customers urged to place orders before stocks are gone 
Buy a Fabia - see the world. That’s the tempting prospect made possible by a range of incredible savings on the outgoing Fabia range. With ŠKODA retailers across the UK offering to pay the VAT equivalent on all Fabia models*, buyers are saving 20% on the original on the road price. That means customers are driving off with a minimum £1,902 saving on their new car – enough to fund some seriously ambitious adventures.

For example, customers picking up one of the last remaining Fabia Monte Carlo models will save enough to take their new car to Monaco to watch the world’s greatest drivers take on the ice and snow of the famous Monte Carlo Rally in January. What’s more they’ll have enough spare budget to live the life of luxury for seven nights in one of the Monaco’s most iconic hotels…

For buyers who prefer their sporting heroes to be on two wheels rather than four, the value-packed Fabia SE model delivers some incredible savings. The ultimate all-rounder, the Fabia SE is comprehensively equipped and the perfect car to follow the ultimate endurance challenge, the Tour de France, and still have enough left over to pick up an ultra-lightweight ŠKODA road bike. Here’s the how the Fabia SE cycling adventure stacks up:

Customers with a love of high-octane thrills can take advantage of the huge savings on the sporty vRS model. The turbocharged and supercharged range-topper comes with a saving big enough to arrive in style at two of the world’s most famous motorsport events: the British Formula One Grand Prix and the Goodwood Festival of Speed. There’s even enough left over for buyers to take to the track themselves. Here’s how the ultimate motorsport summer works out:

Suzuki, again, brings the ALTO citycar below £6,000

Suzuki, well known as the small car experts, has some good news this winter for customers looking to purchase a new Alto as the popular VAT free campaign has now been extended until the end of the year. All four Alto models are included and the SZ model is again available at £5,999 representing a £1,200 saving on list price.


Alto is an ideal 5-door City car choice for younger buyers too as it offers very low cost of ownership with no annual road tax to pay thanks to CO2 emissions of 99g/km, combined fuel consumption of 65.7mpg and an insurance group rating of 4E. Even the entry level SZ model is equipped with front electric windows, central locking and CD Tuner as standard equipment.

Suzuki is also continuing its flexible PCP (Personal Contract Plan) offers on Alto until the end of the year. Alto SZ is available for a deposit of just £779 followed by 41 monthly payments of £99 with the option to pay a final balloon payment of £2,352 at the end of the agreement to keep the car.

Suzuki is currently the second fastest growing brand in the UK with a strong sales momentum 30 per cent up year on year as at the end of September and the projection to close 2013 at 33,000 units, an increase of 8,000 units over 2012.

New Swift 4x4 comes with VAT free pricing


  • Available with 1.2-litre petrol engine and five doors in either SZ3 or SZ4 grades
  • Fully automatic and permanent 4WD system
  • Just 65kg heavier than an equivalent 2WD model
  • CO2 emissions of 126g/km
  • Available with VAT free until September 30th

Suzuki has a strong global heritage for its 4WD models and now, following sales success in Japan as well as several European Countries including Germany and Switzerland, Suzuki is launching the 4x4 Swift in the UK and it goes on sale this month.



Swift 4x4 will be available as a five door 1.2 petrol model with manual transmission and equipped as either an SZ3 or SZ4 grade.

Apart from 4x4 badging and a slightly increased body ride height of 25mm the SZ3 grade appears identical to an equivalent SZ3 five door. The SZ4 model has a more rugged appearance and offers extra protection over rough ground by adding front and rear skid plates, black wheel arch extensions and black side skirts.



This new model has a proven and simple fully automatic and permanent 4-wheel drive system which transfers additional torque to the rear wheels when required via a viscous coupling, further enhancing the already highly acclaimed cornering ability of the Swift.



It is also an ideal choice for customers living in rural areas needing additional mobility or for crossing slippery surfaces during winter without owning a larger and more conventional SUV sized vehicle.

Thanks to the use of small and lightweight components Swift 4x4 is just 65kg heavier than an equivalent 2WD petrol model and emissions are only 10g/km higher at 126g/km.



Included in Suzuki’s recently extended VAT free offers, the 4WD Swift is priced at £11,516 for SZ3 and £13,116 for the higher specified SZ4 model which now includes power folding door mirrors with integral indicators and Daylight Running Lamps as standard equipment.

At last MG reduces the price of the MG6 range, but only for a short period so be quick!

MG has launched a 0% VAT offer across the entire MG6 range, resulting in big cash savings for customers with no hidden catches.

The MG “0% VAT – No Exclusions” deal will be offered throughout July and August giving customers some hot summer savings of up to £3,601.

From today an award-wining MG6 GT petrol model in S trim, which had a recommended on-the-road price of £15,455.00, will cost just £12,968.58 – a saving of £2,486.42.

The top-of-the-range petrol model MG6 Magnette, which had a recommended on-the-road price of £20,350, will now cost £16,981.92 – a saving of £3,368.08.



On DTi-TECH diesel models the cash savings are even greater. The MG6 DTi-TECH GT in S trim had a recommended on-the-road price of £16,995. It will now cost £13,808.58 – a saving of £3,186.42.

The top-of-the-range MG6 DTi-TECH Magnette, including metallic paint, offers a saving of £3,601.42. The effective price of the car is reduced from £21,590 to £17,988.58.



Guy Jones, MG’s Sales & Marketing Director, said: “This is a great offer and, unlike some Zero VAT promotions, there are no exclusions or hidden catches with our offer.

“Our dealers will also be able to give customers some very competitive finance deals, so together with the great value-for-money package that the MG6 range already has, this really is a sizzling summer offer.”

Suzuki launches special edition with no VAT, and extra kit.



  • Special Edition SZ-L model based on mid-grade SZ3.
  • On sale 1st February, available on the VAT free promotion until 31st March 2013 and priced at £10,599 for the three door model and £11,016 for five door model.

Following its debut at Autosport International earlier this month, the Special Edition Swift SZ-L will go on sale on the 1st February.

The SZ-L is based on the 1.2-litre SZ3, but with additional equipment and features designed to enhance the sporty and fun to drive character of Swift.



All Swift SZ3 models already come well equipped with seven airbags, ESP, air conditioning, USB port and Bluetooth as standard. Outside, the SZ-L adds a rear upper spoiler, rear privacy glass, unique 16-inch alloy wheels and free metallic paint in a choice of four colours. Moving inside, red accent stitching is added to the steering wheel and gearshift surround as seen on Swift Sport, as well as cruise control.



Crucially, the Swift SZ-L offers value for money in terms of running costs and purchase price; the 1.2-litre Dual VVT 94PS engine is one of the most powerful in its class, but offers low emissions of just 116g/km CO2 costing £30 in annual VED after the first year and returns a frugal 56.5mpg on the combined cycle.

Insurance should prove to be affordable too; SZ-L is in a low insurance group making it the ideal purchase for younger Swift fans who want to own a more striking, design-led car at a price that isn’t going to break the bank.



Swift SZ-L is available on the recently extended VAT free promotion until the 31st March at £10,599 for three door models and £11,016 for five door models. Additionally, Suzuki Financial Services has included it in its popular PCP Driveplan campaign. The SZ-L requires a deposit of just £749 followed by 47 monthly payments of £179 and an optional final balloon payment to keep the car.
