Any new news on this yet? Is it still slated for August? Glad to see they're incorporating the 4motion technology into some of the lower capacity models. Will be buying a new car end of year and the 105bhp 4motion would really suit me. Is it true the base 4motion will be circa 14k??

 

[spencert]

No chance, the 4mo will attract a premium over the 2wd models. I assume that your referring to the diesel, the base model 2wd 1.9Tdi S trim (103ps) is just under 15k . The 2.0 Tdi 4mo will probably only be a few quid cheaper than the GTi

 

[Drysdale]

Really? Aw bugger. Only thinking that because that article on that German site said the base tdi 4motion would cost around 20,500 euros (around ?14k). Surely for a 105bhp tdi we wont be paying 19/20k-ish? I think 16.5k is more likely.

 

[kenl]

Think spencerT meant the GT 2.0TDi would be close to 20k not the SE 1.9TDI

Where did you read August?

 

[Drysdale]

Was on the news part on here ages ago.

Does anyone have a real clue on how much they will cost and when they're going to start selling them? Need to know really as need to budget if its going to cost extra! I understand there will be a 105bhp and 115bhp TDI 4motion initially followed by a 2.0 petrol.

 

[col.mc]

No one knows how much they will cost but it is a safe assumption to make that they WILL cost more.

If i were you and had a bit of extra budget i would get my hands on a 2.0tdi instead of a 1.9 4mo.

 

[KuniD]

Not 115bhp.

The 4mo will be available on the 1.9 TDI 105PS and 2.0 TDI 140PS. I would imagine it would add ?1000 to the list price of said models.

ie...

2.0 GT TDI 3DR ?18,230 + 4Mo = ?19,230

2.0 GT TDI 5DR ?18,730 + 4Mo = ?19,730

A dealer may give you 6-7% off, a broker 11-12%.

 

[Drysdale]

Thanks KuniD.

Just spent that last half hour on the German VW homepage where the 4motion is already on sale...managed to get a few things like prices in Euros...might give some idea as to pricing over here..I've added 2 grand to the prices to reflect the difference between the German GTI pricing and UK pricing.

Trendline(SE) 1.9 TDI 4motion 105ps - 20475 EUR - ?16100

Trendline(SE) 2.0 TDI 4motion 140ps - 22300 EUR - ?17400

Comfortline(Sport) 1.9 TDI 4motion 105ps - 21875 EUR - ?17000

Comfortline(Sport) 2.0 TDI 4motion 140ps - 23650 EUR - ?18300

Sportline(GT) 2.0 FSI 4motion 150ps - 22350 EUR - ?17400

Sportline(GT) 2.0 TDI 4motion 140ps - 23950 EUR - ?18500

Does this sound about right?

Please keep us informed....

 

[fatbob]

just a thought guys, but is 105 bhp not a bit underpowered for a 4-mo?

 

[Drysdale]

Maybe, but its a good alternative for those who want a cheaper 4wd without bundles of power. Good move on VW's behalf I say. Whether they decide to release it over here, I dont know. I hope so.

 

[VWMichael]

Do they sell the 4motion in Ireland?
