Volkswagen’s Polo range now offers Motability customers even greater value for money, thanks to the addition of a new Match Edition which replaced the existing Match trim level last month.  The new Match Edition is available in three- and five-door bodystyles and with Nil Advance Payment on the Motability Scheme.

Prices for the Match Edition start at £12,045 (RRP ‘on the road’) for the 1.2-litre 60 PS three-door manual version, and rise to £15,240 for the 1.4-litre 85 PS five-door with seven-speed DSG automatic transmission.  With low fuel consumption the Match Edition delivers up to 72.4 mpg on the combined cycle while emitting just 102 g/km of CO2.

The Polo Match Edition adds extra specification including rear parking sensors, cruise control and an alarm with interior protection.  Exterior highlights include stylish 15-inch ‘Castille’ alloy wheels, front fog lights and heat-insulating tinted rear windows.  Comfort and convenience are the main focus inside the cabin with manual air conditioning, an RCD 310 radio / CD player, multifunction computer and MDI (Multi Device Interface) with iPod connectivity all standard.  The model is also fitted with electric windows and a comfort pack, incorporating remote central locking and electrically adjustable exterior mirrors.

Naturally all the Polo’s usual safety equipment remains on board with standard specification including four airbags, ABS and ESP.

A wide range of Volkswagen models is available through the Motability scheme, from the up! city car, to the multi-award winning Golf, Beetle, Golf Plus, Golf Estate and Cabriolet, Jetta, Passat, Volkswagen CC, Scirocco and Tiguan to the Touran and Sharan people carriers.

Continuous Damping Control (CDC) allows continuous regulation of the dampers in air suspension systems. Four ride height sensors constantly measure the distance between the axle and the body. If the system detects a difference compared with the normal height, the air volume in the springs is corrected accordingly to restore the normal height.

After 18 months and over 15,000 UK sales, the Volkswagen up! continues to win plaudits, having been named Best City Car in the Fleet World Honours for the second year in a row.  The trophy was presented at a ceremony held at the Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall today.

The Fleet World Honours are presented annually, and the judging process combines the expert opinion of the Fleet World editorial team with the objective values provided by a number of leading leasing companies and fleet data providers.

The judging panel is chaired by Steve Moody, Editor of Fleet World, and includes John Kendall, Alex Grant, Natalie Wallis, Dan Gilkes and Ross Durkin from the Fleet World editorial team.  Residual value, maintenance and reliability data is provided by ALD Automotive, Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions, Lex Autolease, LeasePlan and Arval.  Market value data is provided by EurotaxGlass and VIPDATA.

Commenting on the up!, Fleet World Editor, Steve Moody, said: ‘Volkswagen’s up! continues to set the benchmark for quality in a segment that is often more to do with cheapness.  As a result, it is hugely desirable, and yet economical to run thanks to its efficient engines.  It’s pretty spacious too, for such a compact car, illustrating clever design and packaging.’

Fleet World’s Managing Editor, Ross Durkin, added: ‘‘This was without doubt the hardest year ever for the judges.  The industry has been undergoing substantial change for some time and we are now on the cusp of seeing the introduction of some really exciting new technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells and credible electric vehicles, alongside highly fuel-efficient yet desirable petrol and diesel powered cars.  You really have to take your hat off to the car manufacturers who continue to rise to the challenges set by government and fleet buyers alike.’

Claire English, Business Development Manager for Volkswagen, collected the award on behalf of the brand, and commented: ‘The up! has now been on sale for over a year and although it’s primarily seen as a retail car, it’s performing well in the fleet market.  Its combination of high quality, high desirability and low whole-life costs make it popular with drivers and fleet managers alike.  The up! is a small car but it means big business.’

The up! is available now, costing from £8,185 RRP OTR.  For more details on the multi award-winning up! please visit www.volkswagen.co.uk/up or for more details on Volkswagen’s range of fleet services, go to www.volkswagen.co.uk/fleet.

The sun is shining, the sky is blue*, it’s Bank Holiday weekend and Volkswagen Retailers across the country are celebrating the brand’s range of drop-top cars with a series of ‘Open Now’ events.  From today until 12 May, Retailers will be showcasing the Golf Cabriolet, Beetle Cabriolet and Eos models in their showrooms, and these events are supported by some great value offers on these cars.

The latest version of the Golf Cabriolet went on sale in 2011.  Safer, more refined, more economical and better value than ever, this car is available in a variety of guises, including the recently introduced range-topping Golf GTI Cabriolet and Golf R Cabriolet.  As part of the Open Now event, Volkswagen Financial Services is offering customers who take out a Solutions PCP package before 30 June a range of finance deals.  For example, those in the market for an S 1.2-litre TSI can benefit from a £1,000 Retailer deposit contribution, zero per cent finance and monthly payments of £199**.  

Also available is the Eos model, Volkswagen’s only cabriolet to combine all the benefits of a full convertible and a hard-top coupé with tilt and slide sunroof.  On this model too, Retailers are offering a £1,000 deposit contribution and zero per cent finance, with, for example, an Eos Sport 1.4-litre TSI available for £299** per month.

The newest soft-top in Volkswagen’s range, the Beetle Cabriolet, will also be turning heads at the event.  Launched just last month, the Beetle Cabrio retains the individuality and style for which the original is renowned, and combines it with all the state-of-the-art safety, technical and comfort features you would expect of Volkswagen.  As well as some attractive low rate finance offers, this model is available with free servicing for up to three years or 30,000 miles (whichever comes sooner) when purchased on Solutions**.

With total sales of around 1.42 million units, Volkswagen is one of the world’s most successful producers of convertibles.  And with a wide range of engines, specifications and prices, there’s a Volkswagen cabriolet to suit every taste and pocket.  To locate your nearest Volkswagen Retailer visit http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/find-a-retailer.

* Apologies to those in Scotland and Northern Ireland for whom this statement is sadly not true… Fortunately all Volkswagen cabriolets are engineered to be as warm, comfortable and refined with the roof up as their hard-top counterparts.  Drop tops for all seasons.
