Volkswagen New Zealand is offering an ‘electric trade-in’ where you can swap your hairdryer and get $14,000 off its electric car range.

Available until November 30, VW invites customers to bring in any electric item that may be gathering dust in the cupboard, whether it's an old iron, a Casio keyboard, a cake mixer or an unused hairdryer to get a discount on its ID.4 or ID.5 fully electric cars.

"As a leader in electric mobility, we wanted to offer our customers an even greater reason to explore the ID. range,” says Chanelle McDonald, General Manager of Volkswagen New Zealand.

“The ID. range has been thoughƞully designed to meet the everyday needs of our customers while delivering an impressive driving experience." 

The ID.4 offers a WLTP driving range of 519km, while the ID.5 offers a WLTP range of 530km. The range of vehicles starts at $65,975 for the ID.4 and $77,990 for the ID.5 before the ‘electric trade-in’ offer.

The discount includes a $7,015.00 NZ Government Clean Car Programme rebate, which the National Government will cut by the end of the year.

The ID.4 combines the functionality of an SUV with practicality and ample space, while the ID.5 is stylish and sporty.  The ID.4 has the standard SUV body shape with a strong masculine appearance and the ID.5 enjoys the distinctive coupe style. Further features include 3D LED tail lights with dynamic turn signals and a visionary light bar that extends to the front and rear of the vehicle.

Inside the ID. vehicles, you'll find a spacious and comfortable interior, providing plenty of legroom and customisable features for a personalised driving experience. With a 12-inch central touch display (exclusive to ID.4 PRO+ and ID.5s), multifunction steering wheel with touch operation and vibration feedback. The convenient electric adjustment and memory function for the seats are included in the PRO+ models.
