Volkswagen win a trio of trophies in the annual Auto Express Awards!

04 July 2018

Volkswagen is celebrating an award-winning night last night at the annual Auto Express Awards after winning City Car of the Year, Compact Family Car of the Year, and Integrated Advertising Campaign of the Year.

The motoring title’s Compact Family Car of the Year has been awarded to the Golf, Volkswagen’s biggest selling model to date. Steve Fowler, Auto Express Editor-in-Chief, commented on Volkswagen’s victory by saying: “After more than 40 years and seven generations, the Volkswagen Golf has been honed and evolved to the point where it’s still the undisputed king of the class.”

The 2018 Auto Express City Car of the Year class has been topped by the Volkswagen Up! Steve Fowler commented on this win and said: “New city cars have arrived on the market over the last 12 months, but none has managed to knock the Volkswagen up! off its perch. It remains a strikingly grown-up little car that’s affordable to buy and run, great fun to drive, and offers a clever approach to in-car connectivity.”

Completing the brands' hat-trick of victories, the Volkswagen UK Marketing team’s ‘Born Confident’ advert for the new T-Roc has claimed the respected weekly motoring title’s trophy for Integrated Advertising Campaign of the Year! Steve said of the T-Roc campaign: “Our judges felt the Volkswagen T-Roc’s ‘Born Confident’ campaign resonated with the audience and was very well executed.”

Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of finance providers and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time.

If you are selecting a Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 or ID.7 then all prices shown are MDP (Manufacturer’s Direct Price), inclusive of VAT. Sold by Volkswagen Passenger Cars, a trading division of Volkswagen Group United Kingdom Limited. MDP includes: delivery to Agent, number plates, new vehicle registration fee, the first year’s Vehicle Excise Duty and VAT (calculated at 20%). Volkswagen Passenger Cars may charge the MDP at any time (this includes where there are government changes in regulation and/or legislation). There may be a delay to any MDP prices displaying correctly on our materials.
