COMPANY car drivers could give themselves an instant pay rise – by opting for the new Vauxhall Corsa.
How?
Well Vauxhall has whipped £2000 off the price of the new Vauxhall Corsa, giving the supermini a much lower P11D.
When CO2 emissions are taken into account – from 85g/km – the Corsa makes a formidable company car statement. And offers significant company car tax savings.
Prices for Vauxhall’s all-new Corsa start from £8,995 on-the-road. The car is officially unveiled at the 2014 Paris Motor Show today (02 October, 2014).
New Vauxhall Corsa: the company car tax saving
Based over three years/60,000 miles on a 20% tax rate, the new Vauxhall Corsa SRi 5-door 1.3 CDTi (95PS) saves:
- £90 over a Ford Fiesta Zetec 5-door 1.6 ECOnetic (95PS)
- £190 against a Peugeot 208 Style 5-door 1.6 e-HDI (92PS)
- £129 versus a Volkswagen Polo SE Design 5-door 1.4TDI (75PS)
But it’s not just the prices that have been stripped out. The new Vauxhall Corsa range has been massively simplified: half the models have gone.
For company car drivers and SME small fleets, the key trims for business are:
- Design;
- SRi;
- SE; and
- SRi VX Line.
All these business focused models feature LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL), Bluetooth phone connectivity, front fog lamps, heated windscreen, Intellilink smart phone connectivity along with DAB digital radio, cruise control and air conditioning as standard equipment.
“The new Vauxhall Corsa is now best in class for equipment,” added Paul Adler, Vauxhall fleet marketing manager.
With the changes to the pricing, the improvements in CO2 emissions and fuel economy, the new Vauxhall Corsa’s residual values have improved by some £1,000 over a three years/60,000 miles operating cycle.
Which means good news for business car managers.
