The Astra Tech Line range comes with extra-special benefits for Company Car Drivers and Fleet Decision Makers.
Available across hatchback and Sports Tourer body styles, cars come packed with every piece of equipment that fleet drivers could wish for, without making them dip into the options list – this makes the range popular with Company Car Drivers and Fleet Decision Makers, as it keeps down P11D values.
These values start at just £16,415 and the incredibly high standard specification includes satellite navigation with 7-inch colour monitor, air conditioning, 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, DAB digital radio, cruise control and mobile phone system with Bluetooth®.
This impressive offering matched with low-emission engines, makes Astra Tech Line the definitive choice for businesses. Says James Taylor, Fleet Sales Director at Vauxhall, “Eye-catching features matched to exceptional P11D values make the new Astra Tech Line models really stand out from the crowd. Low CO2 emissions and efficient ecoFLEX engines deliver substantial savings to both Fleet Decision Makers and Company Car Drivers alike.”
Savings over four years
The comprehensive additions to standard specification are contrasted by some substantial reductions to costs.
The low-emission, tax-efficient ecoFLEX engines deliver significant cost savings over four years. For example, these are the potential savings to be made with the Astra 130PS Tech Line when compared to the equivalent Ford Focus Zetec:
• Save over £2,900 in Whole Life Costs1 Find out more.
• Save over £900 in Benefit-in-Kind2 Find out more.
• Save over £2,400 in fuel costs3 Find out more.
While Tech Line is generous on equipment, economy is central to its appeal. The 1.7CDTi 16v (130PS) ecoFLEX Start/Stop diesel model is one of the ‘cleanest’ in its sector, producing emissions of just 99g/km of CO2.
This model also qualifies for £0 Vehicle Excise Duty4, puts it in the 13% BiK diesel tax band5, and allows it to benefit from 100% first year Writing Down Allowance5. And, as an added bonus, it is exempt from the London Congestion Charge6.
In addition to this sub-100g/km model, there’s a wide choice of petrol and diesel engines available in the Astra Tech Line range, to suit all business needs – from the diesel 1.3CDTi 16v to the 2.0CDTi 16v auto and the petrol 1.4i 16v VVT to the 1.6i 16v VVT auto.
Whichever model you opt for, high spec and low P11D are a given.
