November 17, 2015 by carwow staff
Car changing is a big deal
Each week the carwow team searches for the best new car deals in the UK – check here first if you want to save money on your next car
You’re already in the right place to get the best deal on your new car – after all, carwow is designed to take the hassle out of new car buying and make sure you get the best deal and buying experience possible.
Naturally, there are more reasons to use carwow than just getting a good price, but it’s always heartwarming to get the car of your dreams for a price that makes you happy.
To get you started we’ve pulled together a regularly updated list of the best new-car deals available. We’ve not given exact prices for these cars, simply because the saving you get will depend on the engine, trim level and options you pick for each model – but you’ll get an overview of what’s discounted at the moment. To see exactly how much you could save, hit the link next to each deal to configure that car and you’ll start receiving offers from the dealers that use carwow.
Why can I get such good new car deals?
Manufacturers often discount cars for several reasons. There may be a newer model coming out in a few months, or dealers may have lots of a particular car in stock and will reduce prices to make space for other models. Or it may just be an unpopular car and its price can be cut to help it sell. Don’t confuse unpopular cars with bad cars however – a well-discounted car may not be selling like hot cakes, but it may be just the car for your needs.

Best new car deals
These are the cars with the biggest average savings currently available through carwow. The saving shown is the average discount for that model – the actual amount you stand to save depends on the engine, trim and specification you choose. As a general rule of thumb, you’re likely to save less money on an entry-level trim version of a car than you would on the top-spec one with all the equipment.

New car deals with 0% APR finance
Sometimes a manufacturer will offer interest-free (also called 0%) finance on some cars to help sell them. Naturally, if you buy a car with carwow you’re likely to save off the list price of the car as well as getting 0% finance, making any interest-free car a doubly good deal. This means you’ll only be paying off the car and paying less for it over the course of your finance term.
The table below shows the best current 0% deals, and shows which version of each model is available. We also show whether the deals is available on Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) finance. Our helpful PCP finance calculator can give you an idea how much your ideal new car could cost, too.

New car deals with free insurance
If you’re buying a car for a younger driver, or are fed up of spending lots of money insuring your car, then check out some of the cars below. They’re all available with deals that include free insurance – typically for a year. This means that you can drive away without that extra hassle of having to sort out and pay for your own insurance.
Although buying a car with free insurance sounds like an ideal way to get a brand-new car for a younger relative who might otherwise be expensive to insure, there are age restrictions on many of these deals. Where possible we’ve listed any restrictions on the insurance that’s being offered, but always double-check with your dealer before signing on the dotted line.

New car deals with no deposit
Sometimes manufacturers will let you buy a new car on finance without paying so much as a penny up front. These no-deposit deals are ideal if you don’t have the savings to cover a deposit for a car, but can happily afford monthly finance repayments. You’re likely to have higher monthly repayments as a result of not paying a deposit, but if that’s OK with you then these deals should suit you.
| Car | Summary | RRP | Average carwow saving | Insurance restrictions | Configurator |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Audi | All models apart from Q7 and R8 | No deposit necessary to take out a PCP deal on any Audi apart from the Q7 and R8. Deposit contributions are available, ranging from £1,500 for the A3 to a massive £13,500 for the giant A8 executive car. | Build yours | ||
| Vauxhall | Selected models | Vauxhall will give you a deposit contribution of up to £550 – although you can use that as your entire deposit, so you don’t pay any of your own money for a deposit. 0% finance is also available. PCP only | Build yours | ||
| Fiat Punto | Italian supermini with retro appeal | £10,990 | £4,500 | As well as having a huge average carwow saving, you can get a Punto with no deposit, and Fiat will pay your first two monthly payments. PCP only | Build yours |
| Mazda 2 | Sharp-suited supermini is fun to drive and cheap to run | £11,995 | £1,000 | Flexible finance means you can choose to pay no deposit – and have higher monthly repayments as a result. PCP only | Build yours |
| Suzuki Swift | Unpretentious supermini is cheap and great fun to drive | £8,999 | £800 | This is a good deal – as well as being able to pay no deposit, you can also get 0% finance on the Swift. For a three-door Swift SZ3 model you’ll pay about £162 per month for 42 months. These payments are likely to be lower if you get a discount by using carwow. PCP only | Build yours |
| Nissan Qashqai | Compact SUV is one of the best cars you can buy | £18,545 | £2,700 | Nissan doesn’t insist you pay any deposit on its award-winning Qashqai.

Just add fuel car deals
Just add fuel is a scheme run by Peugeot that includes all the costs of owning a car in the monthly payment for the car. That means insurance, road tax, servicing and roadside assistance are all covered. Naturally, this means your monthly repayments will be higher than on a finance package that just pays for the car, but it also makes things convenient – and possibly cheaper than normal if you’re a young driver who would otherwise cost a lot to insure.
| Car | Summary | RRP | Average carwow saving | Insurance restrictions | Configurator |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peugeot 108 | Stylish French city car is fun and frugal | £8,345 | £1,300 | Drivers aged 18-21 must have a telematics box installed (provided as part of the Just Add Fuel scheme) to monitor driving habits. Insurance will be cancelled after four warnings for bad driving in one year. Drivers aged 21-75 don’t need the telematics box | Build yours |
| Peugeot 108 Top convertible | Convertible city car is cheap to run | £10,595 | £600 | The 108 Top has the same restrictions as the 108 | Build yours |
| Peugeot 208 | A cheap-to-run and stylish supermini | £11,695 | £1,800 | Minimum age for most 208 models (1.0 petrol/1.2 petrol /1.4 diesel) is 21 | Build yours |
