I called Motability earlier today and asked if the BMW X1 25e PHEV was likely to join the scheme in Q2. The customer service advisors never know for sure what’s coming on, leaving or changing in AP, so it’s never entirely accurate, but the person I spoke to looked at what was likely to come onto the scheme this year and it isn’t listed ?
I asked about the Toyota Highlander, as another poster had been told that Motability was negotiating a price for it, but their info now shows that it is unlikely to be added as ‘it doesn’t meet the criteria’ which doesn’t surprise me as it’s over £50k. Seems as though that was a waste of time even discussing it as they would have known the price up front.
Finally, I asked if any new larger SUV’s might join the scheme this year. They mentioned several Jeep models, a Mazda model that I didn’t recognise and a Vauxhall Grand something or other. Sorry, I know that’s pretty rubbish partial info, but none of those makes interest me so I didn’t write them down or take much notice. Anyone particularly interested might be wise to call them and ask.
