New Motability Prices Q4 1st October 2014

After a few price changes that can only be described as disappointing, it is so refreshing to have some positive news with some exciting additions to the Scheme.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

The first plug in SUV Hybrid is available on the Scheme at £1999 advance payment. The automatic gear-boxed five seat four wheel drive Outlander is a much needed addition to the Q4 pricing. The two litre 119hp petrol engine up front and the 80hp electric motor in the rear can offer up to 148 miles per gallon or if you drive on pure electric power the first 32 miles will cost you around £1 to charge the batteries.

Mazda 3

The new Mazda has been picking up awards since its launch in January of this year, it reached the podium of the World Car of the Year awards losing out to the Audi A3.  This is a very good car indeed and should go straight onto your shortlist. The excellent petrol 2.0 litre with a 0-62 time of 8.9 seconds and a claimed economy of 55 miles per gallon is available from £99 Advance Payment.

 

Nissan Pulsar 

Nissan have decided to jack down the suspension of the Qashqai and take on the Focus, Golf and Astra head on, lots of technology inside and a better car than you expect. Prices from Nil Advance Payment for manual car and from £199 for Automatic.

 

 

Citroen C4 Cactus

Citroen have done what they do best, throw away the car design rulebook, the Cactus is a little bonkers and we love it. 7″ touch screen controller and built in sat nav, roof mounted airbag, bump bags on the side, no gear lever for the automatics, Bravo Citroen. The Cactus is available from £199 Advance Payment up to £499 for the 1.6 diesel Automatic. Super pricing for a new car

Return of the Scooby Doo’s (Subaru)

Subaru have rejoined the Scheme, fantastic news as they make some of the finest cars. The Forester (pictured) is 4×4 of the year for 2014 and will get you through the severest of British winters without breaking stride. The XV is a softer SUV style but still all wheel drive.

 

 

Mazda CX-5

The award winning CX-5 makes a welcome return, this time we have petrol, diesels and even 4wd Automatics available. Prices start from a jaw dropping £499 for the petrol, the diesel is from £1499 and the diesel Automatic from £1799. Mazda have taken this quarter by storm by adding the delightful Mazda 3 in both hatchback and saloon variants with prices starting form Nil advance Payment.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta

Not just for those suffering a mid life crisis, anyone who appreciates the heritage of motoring and beautiful design will swoon at the Giulietta. It may have its faults but perhaps it’s time for a car that puts a smile on your face as you walk towards it.

 

Mini 5 door

16cm longer and 1cm taller, Mini have managed to squeeze rear doors, all be it very small doors, into the Mini. Boot space increases to 278 litres, less that a Fiesta but 50 more than the three door version.

BMW prices remain ‘reassuringly expensive’ £100 drop in price of the smaller engined 1 series. As reported the 2 series Active Tourer is not available.

 

 

 

 

Ford are taking the launch of the New Focus very seriously, prices are very realistic, the new 1.5 diesel 120bhp manual with sat nav in Titanium trim for only £95 Advance Payment or for the same price the 1.6 powershift Automatic also with sat nav.

 

Mitsubishi Prices, Confirmation of the Outlander PHEV which is available in GX3 trim for £1999 Advance Payment or for an extra £500 you can have leather seats.

 

 

 

 

 

New Citroen Prices, the Cactus is an interesting new option.

 

 

 

 

Peugeot prices, still very expensive 308 Automatics, shame.

 

 

 

 

As predicted the X-trail is no longer available and only a few Qashqai’s remain on the Scheme due to a production issue at Sunderland causing extended delays in delivery, a full range od Qashqai’s will be on the Scheme soon.

 

Volkswagen prices remain stable, the Scirocco has been removed, we suspect due to the arrival of the new ‘facelifted’ model.

 

 

 

 

 

Vauxhall Prices see a reduction in the Mokka and the Insignia.
