Volkswagen win a trio of trophies in the annual Auto Express Awards!

04 July 2018

Volkswagen is celebrating an award-winning night last night at the annual Auto Express Awards after winning City Car of the Year, Compact Family Car of the Year, and Integrated Advertising Campaign of the Year.

The motoring title’s Compact Family Car of the Year has been awarded to the Golf, Volkswagen’s biggest selling model to date. Steve Fowler, Auto Express Editor-in-Chief, commented on Volkswagen’s victory by saying: “After more than 40 years and seven generations, the Volkswagen Golf has been honed and evolved to the point where it’s still the undisputed king of the class.”

The 2018 Auto Express City Car of the Year class has been topped by the Volkswagen Up! Steve Fowler commented on this win and said: “New city cars have arrived on the market over the last 12 months, but none has managed to knock the Volkswagen up! off its perch. It remains a strikingly grown-up little car that’s affordable to buy and run, great fun to drive, and offers a clever approach to in-car connectivity.”

Completing the brands' hat-trick of victories, the Volkswagen UK Marketing team’s ‘Born Confident’ advert for the new T-Roc has claimed the respected weekly motoring title’s trophy for Integrated Advertising Campaign of the Year! Steve said of the T-Roc campaign: “Our judges felt the Volkswagen T-Roc’s ‘Born Confident’ campaign resonated with the audience and was very well executed.”

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.
