Vauxhall launches cut-price trims

Vauxhall has launched cheaper versions of many of its models.

The new Expression and ES models are up to 3675 less expensive than the previous cheapest version.

The maximum headline saving is with the Zafira Expression, which now costs from 14,995 - a saving of 3675.

Most of the newcomers come with less equipment. You'll have to do without air-conditioning in the Zafira, for instance. The only exception to this is the new ES Insignia, which is 1700 cheaper, but comes with upgraded wheels and MP3-compatible stereo system.

All of the Expression and ES cars are available for a limited period in solid white or red.
