ID.3 triumphs yet again at What Car? Awards!

Both the ID.3 and Passat GTE Estate have received awards at the What Car? Electric Car Awards

The ID.3 Life Pro Performance was named 'Best Electric Family Car' for its battery, handling and equipment! The Passat GTE scooped 'Best Used Plug-in Hybrid Estate' title.

Yet another presitigous accolade for the Volkswagen ID.3, alongside the Passat GTE Estate. Steve Huntingford, Editor of What Car? said: "The promise of a car that's every bit as practical as the big-selling and iconic Volkswagen Golf. Thankfully, the ID.3 lives up to its promise, and then some."

The ID.3 Life Pro Performance is available from £29,740 OTR with a 58 kWh (net capacity) battery that provides a WLTP-certified combined range of up to 264 miles from a single charge. The model can reach 80% capacity in as little as just 35 minutes! The Pro Performance powertrainp provides 204ps and 310Nm of torque which is another attribute praised by WhatCar? judges on the panel.

At the same awards ceremony, the Passat GTE Estate took the 'Best Used Plug-in Hybrid Estate' trophy, being commended for its practicality, as well as performance and reduced running costs of the 218ps variant. "The GTE handles tidily, rides smoothly and makes very little noise in whichever of its various driving modes you're in. The interior is beautifully designed and assembled, and the driver is treated to electric backrest and lumbar support adjustment, aiding comfort on long trips." said Huntingford.

Andrew Savvas, Director of Volkswagen UK, said: "Twelve awards and counting is an immense achievement for ID.3 - we're really pleased that the media is giving our EV pioneer the recognition it deserves.
The same can be said for the Passat GTE Estate. It's blend of flexiblity, practicality and driving dynamics has long been a hit with experts across the industry, so adding the package of benefits from the Volkswagen Approved Used offer sweetens the proposition further."
We're very proud of both the ID.3 and Passat GTE Estate for these awards, and are equally as proud to offer both of these models here at Breeze. Call our team on 01202 713000 for more information on either of these.

Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Breeze Motor Company Ltd, Breeze (Southampton) Ltd and Breeze Motorcycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
