Compact SUVs are all the rage at the moment and one of the most popular is the Volkswagen T-Roc – the high-riding equivalent of the Golf small car.
Serving as the entry point for the range is the 2023 Volkswagen T-Roc CityLife automatic, which usually starts from $35,990 plus on-road costs but can now be ordered and driven away from $36,990, meaning all of the irritating on-roads have been wrapped into one friendly $1000 premium.
The bottom line is prospective customers will save upwards of $3000 in some states and territories by taking advantage of this offer, which could be put towards accessories, groceries, bills or even a road trip for the new car.
Those chasing something bigger inside but not necessarily an SUV might be tempted by the 2023 Kia Cerato Sport automatic – the second of four Cerato tiers – which is currently on sale from $29,890 drive-away instead of the usual $28,390 plus on-roads.
Like VW, Kia has opted to bundle the statutory costs into an easy-to-manage – and budget for – price premium, which streamlines the purchasing process and saves customers money.
King of the drive-away promos right now, however, remains Isuzu Ute Australia, which is continuing to offer its flagship 2023 Isuzu D-MAX X-TERRAIN dual-cab 4x4 ute from $64,990 drive-away.
The top-spec D-MAX carries a list price of $67,500 plus on-roads, which means the pretty much permanent promo offer saves buyers more than $10,000 by the time the fully-loaded ute is parked in their driveway, making it a very hard option to go past in this booming market segment.
