Volkswagen is turning up the heat this summer with a number of sizzling product offers across the range. Lupo, Polo, Golf, Bora, New Beetle, Passat and Sharan are all included, so whatever you’re looking for, there really has never been a better time to visit a Volkswagen showroom.

Lupo

All Lupo prices are reduced by £1,000 from now until 30 September 2004. This means prices for Volkswagen’s supermini start at just £6,790 RRP* on the road for the entry-level 1.0-litre E model; while the range-topping GTI with its 1.6-litre 125 PS engine and six-speed gearbox costs just £12,455*.

Polo

The Polo Twist continues into the summer as one of the most popular models in the Polo range, thanks to its excellent value for money and high equipment levels. In addition to the standard Polo equipment list which features ABS and driver and front passenger front and side airbags, the Twist adds ‘Climatic’ semi-automatic climate control, 14" ‘Sao Paulo’ alloy wheels with anti-theft wheel bolts, front electric windows and metallic or pearl effect paint. From now until 30 September, prices for the Twist start at £8,995 RRP* on the road for the 1.2-litre with 65 PS and rise to £10,495*. The Twist is available with three or five doors and with a choice of two petrol and two diesel engines.

Golf

To combat the hot weather, the award-winning Golf will benefit from now until the end of the year from free ‘Climatic’ semi-automatic climate control on S models. Currently a £495 option, this enhancement will mean prices for the fifth-generation of Volkswagen’s best-seller will start from £11,995 RRP* for the S 1.4-litre 75 PS with three doors. This comes on top of the current What Car? Car of the Year’s already comprehensive equipment list which includes ABS; driver and front passenger front and side airbags plus a curtain airbag system; ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme); and a CD player.

Bora

Volkswagen’s compact saloon, the Bora, will be available from now until the end of September with a number of financial reductions. At the start of the range the Bora S 1.6 is reduced by £1,580, while other S models, plus the SE and Highline are all cut by £1,200. Finally, at the top of the range the Sport models benefit from £1,400 off. This means the Bora range starts at £11,995 for the S 1.6-litre*.

New Beetle

For all customers purchasing a New Beetle before the end of September, there is a price reduction of £500 (£750 off 1.6-litre). Recommended prices will therefore range from £10,990 to £18,035* for the V5 Sport Edition (excludes New Beetle Cabriolet).

Passat Saloon and Estate

Complementing the popular Highline trim level from this month will be a new high-value Passat model known as Trendline. Where the Highline is based on the SE and gains extra equipment for a small premium, the Trendline is based on the entry-level S. In addition to the standard equipment list which includes ABS and ESP, twin front, side and curtain airbags, Climatronic electronic climate control, CD player, plus remote central locking with alarm, Trendline adds alloy wheels, a multi-function steering wheel and cruise control for no extra cost. £14,995 is the RRP for the 2.0-litre 130 PS petrol saloon model*.

Sharan

Last, but by no means least, is Volkswagen’s mid-sized MPV, the Sharan.

A new entry-level model has been introduced, the S, which features ABS, air conditioning, seven seats, remote central locking with alarm, twin front and side airbags plus a curtain airbag system among a host of other items. The RRPs for this model start at £17,495 for the 2.0-litre 115 PS. But for even greater value for money, from now until the end of September, all Sharan models benefit from a price reduction of £1,000*. Plenty enough to treat the family to a great day out.
