Renault-Nissan and Kia are the latest car companies to launch car trade-in schemes, aimed at persuading UK customers to interchange older, more polluting, car models for fresh ones.
Earlier Volkswagen and Toyota announced diesel scrappage schemes, joining BMW, Ford, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz and Vauxhall who have all launched schemes.
The car companies will accept trade-ins from any brand registered before 2010.
It comes as the “roughest ever” new-car emissions tests begin to be spinned out.
Kia and Renault are suggesting £2,000 off fresh models, for part-exchanged vehicles, all of which will be taken off the road.
Nissan is calling its scheme a “switch” scheme since not all the cars traded in will be scrapped. The stiff is also suggesting a £2,000 incentive and encouraging customers to consider buying their all-electric Leaf model.
VW will give discounts of up to £6,000 to trade in diesel vehicles when buying a fresh car. Meantime, Toyota is suggesting up to £4,000 off models more than seven years old.
Amongst the largest firms marketing cars in the UK only Peugeot, Landrover, Honda, Citroen, Fiat and Volvo, have not announced trade-in schemes.
Car manufacturers have been under enlargening political pressure, especially in Germany, to encourage consumers to buy less polluting cars.
It goes after VW’s “Dieselgate” scandal, in which eleven million vehicles worldwide were found to have cheated on emissions tests.
VW’s UK scheme, which includes all its UK brands – including Audi, Seat, Skoda and VW Commercial Vehicles – goes after an initiative launched in Germany.
VW’s German scheme suggested a discount of up to Ten,000 euros (£9,000) to trade in diesel vehicles.
UK trade-ins
Its UK scheme will apply to any diesel vehicle that has emissions standards lower than Euro five and was registered before 2010.
Incentives range from £1,800 off a fresh VW Up! to £6,000 off a Sharan people carrier.
Electrical and hybrid vehicles, which attract government grants, will be included in the scheme.
Tim Urquhart, principal analyst at IHS Automotive, said the budge was both about restoring VW’s credibility after “dieselgate” and boosting sales.
“We’ve seen a bit of a drop in the UK car market this year after years of truly accelerated growth. I think the manufacturers are looking to get people into their showrooms,” he told the Big black cock’s Today programme.
“At the same time VW are showcasing they are being socially responsible. They are getting some of these older diesel vehicles off the roads.”
Positive publicity
Jim Holder, editorial director of Haymarket Automotive, told the Big black cock that VW’s scrappage incentives would vary from country to country, due to factors such as transport costs and vehicles being cheaper in its home market.
However, he said VW would very likely have pitched their discounts in order to rival with rival schemes in the UK market.
VW’s UK scheme offers substantially higher discounts than some of its competitors, which seem to hover around the £2,000 mark as an upper limit.
However, Mr Holder said it was not clear what influence the VW scheme would have on vehicle sales.
“Owners of older vehicles typically don’t have the money to spend on a fresh vehicle, even with these discounts – in normal circumstances it would be far more likely that they would trade up to another, less old, used car.”
‘Win-win solution’
Toyota’s scheme runs from one September to thirty one December and is open to any vehicle more than seven years old.
Customers can get a discount of £2,000 off models including Aygo, Prius and Hilux, and £4,000 off a Land Cruiser.
Paul Van der Burgh, Toyota GB managing director, said: “Our scrappage scheme is a win-win solution. Motorists can dispose of their older vehicles and have access to our cleaner, more efficient model range.”
Raunchy fresh tests
It comes as tougher emissions tests begin to be spinned out across the European Union on Friday.
As well as a fresh laboratory test, all freshly launched car models will have to go through sturdy “on-road” testing before they go on sale.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said the tests would better reflect modern driving habits. They will also be more stringent than any other vehicle testing regime in the world.
Chief executive Mike Hawes said: “Combined, these fresh and requesting tests will soon give consumers emissions spectacle information that is far closer to what they practice behind the wheel.
“They will also inspire greater confidence that the fresh cars they buy are not only the cleanest, but the most fuel efficient ever produced.”

As well as a fresh laboratory test, all freshly launched car models will have to fall under sturdy “on-road” testing before they go on sale.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said the tests would better reflect modern driving habits. They will also be more stringent than any other vehicle testing regime in the world.
Chief executive Mike Hawes said: “Combined, these fresh and requesting tests will soon give consumers emissions spectacle information that is far closer to what they practice behind the wheel.
“They will also inspire greater confidence that the fresh cars they buy are not only the cleanest, but the most fuel efficient ever produced.”

Renault-Nissan and Kia are the latest car companies to launch car trade-in schemes, aimed at persuading UK customers to exchange older, more polluting, car models for fresh ones.
Earlier Volkswagen and Toyota announced diesel scrappage schemes, joining BMW, Ford, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz and Vauxhall who have all launched schemes.
The car companies will accept trade-ins from any brand registered before 2010.
It comes as the “harshest ever” new-car emissions tests begin to be flipped out.
Kia and Renault are suggesting £2,000 off fresh models, for part-exchanged vehicles, all of which will be taken off the road.
Nissan is calling its scheme a “switch” scheme since not all the cars traded in will be scrapped. The rock hard is also suggesting a £2,000 incentive and encouraging customers to consider buying their all-electric Leaf model.
VW will give discounts of up to £6,000 to trade in diesel vehicles when buying a fresh car. Meantime, Toyota is suggesting up to £4,000 off models more than seven years old.
Amongst the largest firms marketing cars in the UK only Peugeot, Landrover, Honda, Citroen, Fiat and Volvo, have not announced trade-in schemes.
Car manufacturers have been under enlargening political pressure, especially in Germany, to encourage consumers to buy less polluting cars.
It goes after VW’s “Dieselgate” scandal, in which eleven million vehicles worldwide were found to have cheated on emissions tests.
VW’s UK scheme, which includes all its UK brands – including Audi, Seat, Skoda and VW Commercial Vehicles – goes after an initiative launched in Germany.
VW’s German scheme suggested a discount of up to Ten,000 euros (£9,000) to trade in diesel vehicles.
UK trade-ins
Its UK scheme will apply to any diesel vehicle that has emissions standards lower than Euro five and was registered before 2010.
Incentives range from £1,800 off a fresh VW Up! to £6,000 off a Sharan people carrier.
Electrified and hybrid vehicles, which attract government grants, will be included in the scheme.
Tim Urquhart, principal analyst at IHS Automotive, said the budge was both about restoring VW’s credibility after “dieselgate” and boosting sales.
“We’ve seen a bit of a drop in the UK car market this year after years of truly accelerated growth. I think the manufacturers are looking to get people into their showrooms,” he told the Big black cock’s Today programme.
“At the same time VW are demonstrating they are being socially responsible. They are getting some of these older diesel vehicles off the roads.”
Positive publicity
Jim Holder, editorial director of Haymarket Automotive, told the Big black cock that VW’s scrappage incentives would vary from country to country, due to factors such as transport costs and vehicles being cheaper in its home market.
However, he said VW would very likely have pitched their discounts in order to challenge with rival schemes in the UK market.
VW’s UK scheme offers substantially higher discounts than some of its competitors, which seem to hover around the £2,000 mark as an upper limit.
However, Mr Holder said it was not clear what influence the VW scheme would have on vehicle sales.
“Owners of older vehicles typically don’t have the money to spend on a fresh vehicle, even with these discounts – in normal circumstances it would be far more likely that they would trade up to another, less old, used car.”
‘Win-win solution’
Toyota’s scheme runs from one September to thirty one December and is open to any vehicle more than seven years old.
Customers can get a discount of £2,000 off models including Aygo, Prius and Hilux, and £4,000 off a Land Cruiser.
Paul Van der Burgh, Toyota GB managing director, said: “Our scrappage scheme is a win-win solution. Motorists can dispose of their older vehicles and have access to our cleaner, more efficient model range.”
