Editor’s view: new Vauxhall Corsa pricing strategy

VAUXHALL has essentially done an Insignia on the new Corsa.

By that I mean, the company has applied the same process of reduced P11D values, lower CO2 emissions and improved whole life costs – which knocks on to much better residual values. (See our news story New Vauxhall Insignia reverses downsizing company car trend.)

It all adds up to a better deal all round.

Better for the company car driver – there’s less company car tax to pay.

Better for the business car manager – acquisition costs are lower and overall running costs are reduced. There’s less Class 1A National Insurance contributions to be paid too.

At a special fleet briefing at Vauxhall’s Luton HQ to explain the new Vauxhall Corsa pricing strategy, marketing manager Paul Adler told me that small businesses could save over £500 in NI costs alone.
