What's the news?
Volkswagen Ireland is bundling together a load of technology upgrades to entice buyers to take part in its 172-plate campaign, which it is calling 'Make The Future Your Present'.
Along with 0 per cent APR PCP finance deals, deposit contributions of up to €2,000 and free Volkswagen Connect (app-supporting software), examples of the tech bundles include Discover Media Satnav, Light Assist, Rear-View Camera and a Winter Pack on the new Golf Highline. Individually, these things are worth €1,711 but 172 customers can spec this package up for just €599.
Even better, on the Tiguan Comfortline, a Panoramic Sunroof, the Mirror Package, Discover Media Satnav and Rear-View Camera are all offered for €999, instead of the €3,073 such items would normally cost.
On the upgraded Passat range, Easy Open Package, High Beam Light Assist, Side Assist and Rear Traffic Alert (worth €2,143) are offered for €499, while for the Polo Trendline, additions include 15-inch Estrada alloys, a leather multifunction steering wheel, front fog lights and App Connect (worth €1,832) for €299.
Similar Technology Upgrade offers are available on the up!, Golf SV, Jetta, Beetle, Scirocco, Touran, Sharan and Touareg, with up to €6,029 of savings available.
And in terms of the PCP and deposit contributions, there are some great deals. The Golf Highline can be had with 0 per cent APR PCP, equating to monthly payments of €249. The Tiguan and Polo both come with the €1,000 deposit contribution, the SUV also benefitting from 0 per cent PCP before June 30, resulting in a payment of €299 per month for the 115hp TDI model. The Passat also gets the 0 per cent PCP deal, with customers able to drive away a version from as little as €289 per month.
On the other models listed above, up to €2,000 deposit contribution and further 0 per cent PCP deals are offered.
