VW unveils €6,500 scrappage scheme if drivers axe older diesel vehicles

Volkswagen is enticing Irish drivers to trade in their old diesel models with incentives of up to €6,500 to buy a new car.

The VW Group Ireland offer applies to new petrol or diesel and plug-in hybrid and fully electric models across the VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda ranges.

VW Group Ireland said the new Audi, Seat, Skoda, and Volkswagen petrol and diesel vehicles meet the latest Euro 6 emissions standards, which are the most stringent yet.
