IF you’re the business car manager of a small firm and thinking you’ll just go to default for your next hatchback company car – aka the Golf – then hold that order.
Take a look at the new Astra.
For why?
Treat your staff sweet to the SRi or Elite model (you would, wouldn’t you?) and you could be saving a whopping £5k plus on whole life costs over three years.
So while you’re reaching for your espresso or skinny latte in shock, let’s explain how Vauxhall has done this.
They have done an Insignia on the new Vauxhall Astra.
Vauxhall is delivering a class leading position for whole life costs and benefit in kind company car taxation
In other words Vauxhall has ripped out the cost of the car, lowering the P11D value (list price) by up to £2200, improving engine efficiency for better economy, improving the car specification and getting a massive uplift in residual values as a result.
And what a result: lower costs to any small business running one as a company car; and £468 to the staffer in lower company car tax.
Plus they’ll be driving a brand new and stylish built in Britain Vauxhall Astra.
“Every Astra you see on the road will be a good looking car,” said Paul Adler, fleet marketing manager for Vauxhall, referring to the fact that, among other things, all new Astras will feature alloy wheels as standard.
“But in addition to that, we have fundamentally changed the position of the Astra with its P11D pricing.”
