As
the successful UK scrappage
scheme fades into memory SEAT is
launching an innovative new
retail offer that lets buyers
who missed out save not once,
but twice.
The exciting Eco-nomics
initiative delivers savings of
up to £2,000 off the RRP of
selected SEAT Ecomotive models –
the Spanish maker’s cleanest,
greenest cars.
And by trading out of an older,
more polluting model into a
clean, green SEAT Ecomotive
buyers can then look forward to
further significant savings as
they spend less on their
day-to-day running costs.
For instance, the pioneering
scheme suggests buyers of a new
generation Leon Ecomotive SE –
which features SEAT’s new
1.6-litreTDIpowerplant with
common rail fuelling, Start-Stop
technology and Energy Recovery
system – can, including the RRP
discount, save a total of more
than £4,300 over a typical
three-year/45,000 mile ownership
period.
The savings, calculated against
average SEAT Leonrange economy
statistics, are boosted by the
new Leon Ecomotive’s exemption
from Road Tax. By virtue of its
exceptionally low CO2
figure – just 99 g/km – the
latest Ecomotive is free from
Vehicle Excise Duty.
And that remarkable CO2
figure is all the more
impressive when you consider
that the original Ibiza
Ecomotive, launched here just
three years ago, had the very
same CO2 rating
despite its lighter weight and
significantly smaller size.
So, Leon Ecomotive SE buyers
keen to take advantage of SEAT’s
clever new Eco-nomics offering
will see the list price of the
car slashed from £18,045 RRP to
just £16,045 RRP. Meanwhile
Ibiza Ecomotive buyers opting
for the super-green supermini in
either SC or 5dr form could
qualify for a customer saving of
£1,250 off the cars’ RRP, which
currently starts at £12,790.
The Eco-nomics discount
therefore makes the revised RRP
for the Ibiza SC Ecomotive just
£11,540.

The revolutionary scheme, which
applies to retail customers only
at participating SEAT
dealerships, relates to orders
made between 1 April and 30
June, with cars registered and
handed over by 31 August 2010.
Explaining the thinking behind
the new Eco-nomics deal SEAT UK
Head of Operations, Richard
Harrison, said: ‘With the ending
of the government’s scrappage
scheme the industry has seen
numerous ‘swappage’-style deals
pop up.
‘However, we wanted to take the
original ethos of the scrappage
scheme and add a SEAT twist by
making our latest,
class-leading, green technology
models even more accessible for
everyone, not just owners of
ten-year-old cars.
Already great value, with the
added Eco-nomics discounts, our
Ecomotive models now appeal even
more to the head as well as the
young at heart.’ |
