Purpose

Want a new SUV from VW, then NOW is the time, apparently.

  • Special offers add extra value to SUVs from 13 to 27 February 2015
  • Tiguan and Touareg models ordered during event receive three years’ free servicing^^
Volkswagen is launching a number of special offers across its SUV ranges this month, meaning there has never been a better time to buy a Tiguan or Touareg model.  On top of competitive deals already available to buyers purchasing an SUV between now and 31 March 2015, during the half term event which runs at participating Retailers from 13 to 27 February, there’s the added bonus of three years or 30,000 miles free servicing^^.

The offers start with Volkswagen’s compact SUV, the Tiguan, which is available with a deposit contribution of up to £2,750**, and monthly payments on Solutions PCP (Volkswagen Financial Services’ personal contract plan) from £265 and 4.9 per cent APR representative.  


Popular and well-specified, all Match and R-Line Tiguan models now benefit from standard touchscreen satellite navigation.  Protection Packs, comprising front and rear mats, a boot mat and mud flaps are also available to ensure the new car stays looking new for as long as possible.

Customers with their eye on Volkswagen’s range-topping SUV, the new Touareg, which went on sale in August, can save up to £5,000^** off the list price of the car.  The Touareg is of course available on Solutions too, with monthly payments from £459 with 7.0 per cent APR representative.  A bespoke Protection Pack is also available for the Touareg.

What’s more, during the half term event, all Tiguan and Touareg orders will benefit from three years or 30,000 miles free servicing^^.  This is not linked to Solutions, and so is available on all retail orders placed between 13 and 27 February.

The SUV campaign is being supported by national advertising, encouraging potential owners to ‘Treat yourself, not the kids’ this half term.  For full details, terms and conditions, finance examples or to find your nearest participating Retailer, please go to www.volkswagen.co.uk.

The Maths are getting better, the new refreshed Dacia Duster, even better value for money.

  • Styling and trim upgrades with no increase in prices
  • The UK’s most affordable SUV
  • New grilles, roof bars, upholstery and tailgate trim across the range
  • New metallic colour options for top two trim grades
  • Two engines, three trim levels and two- or four-wheel drive
  • Range pricing starts at “shockingly affordable” £9,495
The ever-popular Dacia Duster benefits from a package of styling and trim upgrades for the 2015 Model Year, but with no increase in the brand’s no-nonsense, “shockingly affordable” pricing.
The line-up continues to consist of two- and four-wheel-drive models based on three trim levels and two engines. The entry-level Access is powered by a 105 hp 1.6-litre 16-valve petrol engine, while the mid-range Ambiance and top-grade LaurĂ©ate versions have a 107 hp (109 hp on 4x4 versions) 1.5-litre dCi 110 turbodiesel power unit. Prices start at less than £9,500 for the two-wheel-drive Access model and under £11,500 for the four-wheel-drive version.

New for 2015 is a more stylish chrome front grille made up of two layers of four small intakes surrounding the Dacia logo. All versions now have ‘Duster’ branded roof bars – chromed on LaurĂ©ate models. At the rear, a black tailgate trim with ‘Duster’ branding sits above the number plate. LaurĂ©ate versions have smart new Tyrol 16-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured door handles and dark metal door mirror casings. Five new metallic colours – Mercury, Khaki, Pearl Black, Slate Grey and Cinnamon – replace the previous choices as alternatives to solid Glacier White on the Ambiance and LaurĂ©ate.
There is new upholstery and seats for every model. Access versions are finished in Hassium cloth, Ambiance in Osmium cloth and LaurĂ©ate in Rhodium cloth with ‘Duster’ lettering.  An Emergency Spare Wheel now becomes a £150 option on all 4x2 versions and remains standard on 4x4 models.
The range structure is the same as before. Highlights on Access models are 16-inch Eiger steel wheels, remote locking, a Thatcham-approved engine immobiliser, electric front windows, anti-lock brakes with Emergency Brake Assist, Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control, a Tyre Pressure Monitor, four airbags, an ECO driving mode and gearshift indicator and a four-speed heating and ventilation system.  Body-coloured bumpers, black door handles and Duster-branded roof bars and bumpers are all standard. Glacier White is the sole colour. The 4x4 version has a centre differential lock with 2WD, Auto and Lock modes.
Ambiance versions add Matterhorn 16-inch steel wheels, satin chrome door handles, a chrome gearlever insert and instrument surrounds, a radio/CD player with AUX and USB sockets and Bluetooth, front foglights, a height-adjustable driver’s seat and a 60:40 split rear seat.
Topping the range are the Lauréate models with 16-inch Tyrol alloys, manual air conditioning, electric mirrors and rear windows, cruise control with a speed limiter, a seven-function trip computer, a glovebox light, a passenger vanity mirror and body coloured door handles, satin chrome Duster-branded roof bars, scuff plates and side sills. Also standard are piano black interior door handles, door and steering wheel inserts and centre console surround, a leather-covered steering wheel and map pockets in the front seat backs.
Dacia has been Europe’s fastest-growing automotive brand for eight years in a row. The Duster is the most affordable SUV on the UK market – and has been since it came to the UK in mid-2012.  Production of Right Hand Drive UK-bound Dusters was originally at the Chennai plant in India and, with the advent of New Duster, has moved closer to its British end customers to Dacia’s home plant of Pitesti in Romania.
The model has claimed a stack of awards in the UK, Europe and India and has established an immensely loyal following, not least because of pricing and specification which is more in tune with that for a car from the class below.
The Duster is covered by Dacia’s standard three-year/60,000 mile mechanical  warranty plus two-year paint and six-year anti-corrosion guarantees.
