Scrappage schemes extended in 2018 03 | 01 | 2018
HYUNDAI HAS JOINED Ford, Vauxhall, Toyota, Volkswagen and Audi in extending its diesel scrappage scheme into 2018. The Korean campaign, which sees savings of up to £5000 on a new Santa Fe, will now run through to March 31.
The scheme applies to any make or model of car that are Euro 1-4 emissions standard (cars registered before December 31, 2009) but does not demand scrappage of all older vehicles. Under the terms of the scheme, only the most polluting Euro 1-3 emissions standard vehicles, will be scrapped.
The Ioniq hybrid and EV models have now been added to the scheme and attract a total of £3500 discount when when using the £2000 Hyundai scrappage offer combined with the government-funded £1500 Plug-In Car Grant.
All-new Kona — Hyundai’s latest SUV offering — has also been introduced, with a £1750 incentive available on all variants. Santa Fe and Tucson remain on the scheme, with savings of £3500 and £4000 receptively.
i10, i20, i30, i40 and ix20 continue to be available and some highlights include: The i10 S 1.0 from just £7995, the i20 S 1.0 from £9495 and the i30 S 1.0 from £12995.
All the savings made available on Hyundai’s Scrappage & Vehicle Emission Scheme will be supported by 3.9% APR from Hyundai Finance in January and February for customers to maximise monthly affordability.
“Hyundai is fully committed to improving the efficiency of its product line-up and to lowering emissions,” Tony Whitehorn, president and chief executive of Hyundai Motor UK, said.
“Our Scrappage and Emissions Reduction scheme has made the change into new, cleaner and more technologically advanced vehicles even easier for over 2700 customers since we launched it back in September 2017, so we are very pleased to announce the extension of the scheme until March.
“The scheme has been enhanced to introduce not just our brand new small SUV, Kona but also the award-winning Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid. Alongside the Ioniq Hybrid, it’s now even easier for customers to make that step from a conventional ICE vehicle into one with an electrified powertrain.”

• i10 SE 1.0 = £1795 (other models £1500)
