    Get the best dealIS coming festive season will be

    hered in with good news thatny car companies will have

    mething to offer for those whoplanning to buy a new ride.

    Apart from the excitement youfrom coming home in a brand

    w car, car buyers will feel aat sense of satisfaction with theue-for-money promotionsered by several car companies.

    Honda Malaysia is set togive its customers the joyof getting new wheels.

    There are many aspects to thepromotions that you can takeadvantage of to help you savemoney and make your purchaseworthwhile in the long term.

    The discounts are probably themost attractive aspect of apromotion and often referred to assomething else the automobileindustry often does not use theword discount, but rather

    repackages it and calls it arebate or bonus.

    Sometimes, offers can includeother products such as a freetelevision, tablet or other gadgets.

    You can sometimes opt to takethe products or convert it to a cashdiscount that can offset yourdownpayment.

    Part of the offer may alsoinclude a service maintenancepackage.

    Most companies will not allowyou to trade this for a cash

    discount and it is notrecommended as well.

    Free maintenance packages cansave you thousands of ringgit inthe coming years and keep yourcar in warranty such as in the caseof parts increasing in price something you would not have tobe concerned about for the nextthree to five years.

    Furthermore, if you decide thesell the car, the included servicemaintainence package will boostthe price too.

    Bear in mind that somemaintenance packages cover all

    of the costs, including parts andlabour.

    Some, however, only coverthe labour cost and therefore itis important that you ensurethat you are well informedand have everything that youhave been offered written inblack and white.

    If you do not mind buyinglast years stock, you mayreceive an even biggerdiscount. While some car

    buyers might say that youstand to lose a lot when

    you want to sell it, youwould not expect to be

    selling your car for another fiveyears or so and this may justifyyour purchase at that point in time.

    Receiving extended warranty isalso another way you can get morevalue for money.

    This offer works best for thosewho intend to keep servicing theircar with the car company, which isstrongly suggested.

    Some dealers or branches havean in-house promotional campaignexclusive to their store. That is whyit is important to shop around for

    the best deal before making yourpurchase.

    Finally, the interest rates of yourcar loan is also a big factor toconsider when making a newpurchase.

    The rates are expected to risemore this year; hence, purchasingyour brand new car now canactually help save thousands ofringgit in interest alone.

    To find out what the best dealsare out there, take your family carshopping so that they can share theexperience of a test drive too andmake a collective decision on thebest choice.

    Peugeot is offeringattractive deals for itscars this festive season.

    Ecient and high-performingSIME Darby Auto Performance(SDAP), the importer of Porschevehicles in Malaysia, launched theimpressive new Cayenne modelslast year.

    The new Cayenne models havesince set the standards in the SUVsegment with a sharper design,boosted efficiency and extensiveset of standard features, which arethe key characteristics of the newPorsche Cayenne.

    Besides offering five seats andextensive high-end features, thenew Cayenne is the sports caramong the sport utility vehicles(SUVs) and primarily offers a lot ofroom for ample driving fun.

    The new range of Cayennemodels also deliver more powerand higher torque with lower fuelconsumption than its directpredecessors and upgraded andoptimised engines.

    The engine used in the new basemodel Cayenne is the familiar 3.6-litre V6 naturally aspirated engine,delivering 300hp.

    It accelerates the Cayenne from0kph to 100kph in 7.7 seconds and7.6 seconds with the optional SportChrono package, which is 0.2seconds faster than before.

    Like all new Cayenne models, itbenefits from general efficiency

    measures such as coasting, autostop/start function and thermalmanagement, which results inlower fuel consumption comparedto the previous model by 0.7-litre/100 km at 9.2-litre/100 km.

    That equates to CO2 emissions of215g/km, which is lower by 21g/kmfrom before.

    The new 3.6-litre V6 biturboengine of the Cayenne S, whichwas developed entirely at Porsche,

    is another example of howdownsizing with reduced enginedisplacement and fewer cylindersdoes not compromise core values.

    The engines NEDC (newEuropean driving cycle) fuelconsumption is between9.5-litre/100km and 9.8-litre/100km(223-229 g/km CO2), which is onelitre less than the previous V8engine.

    With its standard eight-speed

    Tiptronic S transmission, theCayenne S accelerates from 0kphto 100kph in just 5.5 seconds(5.4 seconds with the optionalSport Chrono package), which is0.4 seconds faster than theprevious Cayenne S. The vehiclestop speed is 259kph.

    The diesel versions of theCayenne, on the other hand,combine sportiness with evenbetter fuel efficiency.

    The three-litre V6 engine in theCayenne Diesel produces 262hp at4,000rpm and has a fuelconsumption of 6.6-litre/100kmto 6.8-litre/100km.

    The car can accelerate from0kph to 100kph in 7.3 seconds(7.2 seconds with the optionalSport Chrono package), and itstop speed is 221kph.

    The base price of the newCayenne and Cayenne Diesel startsfrom RM640,000 and the Cayenne Sand Cayenne S Diesel are fromRM760,000 and RM780,000respectively.

    Volvo Cars have a proud legacy of putting emphasis on the safety of drivers.

    Proud design heritage

    SCANDINAVIAN design focuses ondelivering minimalist and highlyfunctional products inspired bynature; the core tenets ofScandinavian living.

    In Sweden, the preservation ofthis movement started in 1845 withthe establishment of the SwedishSociety of Industrial Design andhas since been emulated by mostSwedish companies, includingVolvo Cars.

    Social consciousness in designtook root in Sweden between the1920s and 1930s, which lead to thecompany putting emphasis onsafety. Volvo has now become theunequivocal leader in automotivesafety.

    Volvos Side Impact ProtectionSystem (SIPS) in the Volvo XC60and V40 is a good example of howsafety functions are assimilatedinto its minimalist design.

    In the event of a side collision,the system absorbs and transfersforce through a series of points.The only hint of this system is aSIPS stamp on the lower part of theB-pillar.

    The Whiplash Protection System(WHIPS) consist of an energyabsorption mechanism integratedinto the ergonomically designedseats. WHIPS reduces short- andlong-term whiplash injuries as aresult of rear-end collisions.

    As with all Volvos, the XC60 andV40 comes with an assortment ofstandard safety features, such asdual-stage driver and front

    passenger airbags, SIPS airbags,and inflatable curtains, all of whichoffer the best protection to the carsoccupants at all times.

    These passive safety systemscomplement the active safetytechnologies available in the VolvoXC60 and V40.

    The most notable, City Safety, is astandard on all new Volvo cars.City Safety is an autonomous

    braking system that helps to avoidcollisions if the relative speedbetween the two vehicles is up to50kph. At higher speeds, thesystem helps to reduce the impactof the collision.

    The enhanced, radar-based BlindSpot Information System (BLIS)informs the driver about vehiclesin the blind spots on both sides ofthe car and also monitors and

    alerts the driver to rapidlyapproaching vehicles up to 70 mbehind the car.

    The same radar is used for CrossTraffic Alert (CTA) which alerts thedriver of crossing traffic from thesides when reversing out of aparking space.

    CTA is especially helpful in tightand crowded areas where the sideview might be limited due toinfrastructure, vegetation or otherparked cars.

    All-in-all, the safety systemspresent in a Volvo gives assuranceto the driver and occupants thatthe car is made with safety as theutmost priority.

    While safety holds precedence,the cabin design, materials usedand systems put in place alsoensure a pleasant experience forthe drive and occupants.

    The cabin design in a Volvo is amanifestation of Swedish designideals. The beautifully craftedinterior focuses on functionalelegance where clutter isminimised and functions neatlyintegrated into the design.

    Volvos Interior Air QualitySystem (IAQS) reduces the levels ofcertain harmful gases andparticulates. The Clean ZoneInterior Package (CZIP) is a feature

    developed specifically for allergy-sufferers and provides qualityinterior air as recommended bythe Swedish Asthma and AllergyAssociation.

    On the environmental front, theVolvo XC60 is equipped with thenew Drive-E powertrain, whichdelivers more power whilereducing harmful emissions andfuel consumption.

    Both the Volvo XC60 and V40 is95% RRR-certified (re-use,recycling, and recovery) ensuring amore sustainable use of the Earthsprecious resources.

    Volvo cars are made to putowners at ease when it comes to

    driving and ownership experience.More importantly, it signifies thepromise of a better future byespousing the virtues of gooddesign, care for the environmentand safety the universal values ofa contemporary society.

    For a limited time only, Volvo CarMalaysia is offering a 10% discounton the Volvo V40 T5, V40 CrossCountry, XC60 T5 or XC60 T6.Current Volvo owners can alsoenjoy discounts of up to 25% onselected Volvo parts.
