Renault Drives Away the End of Financial Year Blues

VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA – May 6, 2013: Renault has just made driving a new light commercial vehicle into the new financial year so much more appealing, with the announcement of very special offers across the range for business owners and fleet operators.

Each of the three Renault LCV models is now available with drive-away pricing, with the short wheelbase Kangoo petrol manual with dual sliding side doors priced from $20,990 drive-away.

The Renault Trafic short wheelbase manual is now $29,990 drive-away, while the long wheelbase manual is $32,990 drive-away.

The Renault Master large van starts from $46,990 drive-away.

In addition, Renault has added satellite navigation as a no-cost bonus for the offer period, which applies to all vehicles ordered between May 1st and June 30th, 2013.

With a firm focus on running costs and resale value, Renault has also included a 5-year/200,000 km warranty on all LCVs ordered in May and June 2013, while Capped Price Servicing is already a part of the Renault LCV offer with all scheduled visits to the national Renault dealer network priced at $349 per service for the first 3-years or 45,000 km, whichever comes first.

“With our drive-away pricing offer, 5-year/200,000 km warranty and Capped Price Servicing for 3-years, we have truly delivered for business fleets and owner-drivers,” says Lyndon Healey, Renault Australia LCV Brand Manager.

“The Renault LCV range has been the best selling in Europe for 15 years straight, the Kangoo is Europe’s best-selling LCV, and this appeal is rubbing off on Australia buyers.

“In 2012 we posted sales growth of 98 percent and we are aiming to maintain a very healthy double-digit growth profile in 2013 in Australia,” Lyndon says.

“With this drive-away offer coupled with the steps we have already taken, we are confident our LCV range has what it takes to continue to attract LCV buyers of all types in Australia. We have been successful in winning the business of a wide variety of customers, and as word spreads about our competitiveness, our many business-friendly benefits, and the care and attention paid to LCV customers by our national dealer network, we will see even greater market penetration.

“In addition, Renault Financial Services has been very successful in securing business with its very affordable and market-competitive offers, including a very low comparison rate of 2.9 percent over a 3-year loan.

“And that’s not all. We have big plans to expand our range of vehicles in the second half of the year, too.

“Renault LCV is really driving business forward,” Lyndon says.
