VAUXHALL INSIGNIA: Leading the way
Date: 04 July 2013
All of the moves have been designed to improve the car's whole-life costs. There are the obvious benefits to fuel economy, BIK, NIC, RVs and other operational expenses that a sub-100g/km car will bring, but revisions to elements such as the trim levels and alloy wheel size have had a more low-key impact. For example, the new entry-level Design model now has 16-inch alloy wheels as opposed to the 17-inch items that were in place before, and as Adler explains: "From an SMR perspective, the [smaller] tyres create a £300 saving over three years and 60,000 miles."
There are too many minute details to list here, but suffice to say, Vauxhall believes the whole-life cost savings work out in the region of £5000 per year.
