VAUXHALL has announced pricing of its new Ampera and the dealers who are charged with selling the new car.
Offered in three trim levels, the first Amperas will arrive in showrooms on May 1, 2012.
Starting at £29,995 – inclusive of the £5k government plug-in car grant – prices will top out at £33,995 – inclusive of the government’s grant.
The Ampera is also backed by Vauxhall’s Lifetime Warranty and an eight-year 100,000 mile battery warranty.
23 dealers will be selling the range-extender Vauxhall, and each site will have two Ampera specialists – in both sales and aftersales – providing expert advice and attention on all aspects of the car. Ampera retailers will also offer a free collection and delivery service for all scheduled service, warranty and repair work.
However, the icing on the cake is a service known as ‘MyAmpera’, which offers owners the telephone number and email address of their own personal Ampera agent, based at Vauxhall’s head office.
‘We’re breaking completely fresh ground with the Ampera,’ said Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s chairman and managing director. ‘The technology is obviously unique in a production car, but it’s the level of personalised customer support we’re offering that will be just as important to owners. MyAmpera reinforces this personalisation and will help us engage with our new owners throughout their time with the car.’
