The Fox. It’s stylish. It’s well built. It’s affordable. Oh, and it’s a Volkswagen. In fact, some people say

those are all the reasons you need to buy one. But we’d like to think there are a few more than that.

It may be the smallest car in our range, but the Fox has everything anyone could want in a car. And

with prices starting from £6,590 RRP*, everyone can afford one.

* Manufacturer’s recommended ‘On the road’ retail price.

Model shown is Urban Fox with optional 14" ‘Parana’ alloy wheels and front fog lights.

It’s a Volkswagen.


01

Being small doesn’t mean you can’t make a big impression.

And with its dynamic body lines, capturing the gaze of

curious onlookers is inevitable. Even the contoured clear

cover of the headlights and indicators demand attention.

While a wide range of exterior body colours gives you the

chance to enhance its compact, sporty looks even more.

And of course, there’s always the option to style your Fox

exactly the way you want it by adding alloy wheels, a rear

roof spoiler, or one of the many options or accessory

packs available.

Looking good has never cost so little.

01 Model shown is Urban Fox with optional

15" ‘Mendoza’ alloy wheels and front fog lights.

02 The door mirrors and bumpers are body-coloured to

complement your chosen colour on Urban Fox models.

03 An electric glass sunroof is available as an optional extra.

04 Halogen headlights with integrated indicators are elegantly

styled with a contoured clear cover.

The Fox may be a car for everyone, but there are still two models to choose

from – the Fox and Urban Fox. Simply choose the one that suits you best.

If you’re looking for a practical and affordable small car to drive, then you can’t

go wrong with the Fox. It may have a low starting price, but you still get an

impressive level of specification, including front and rear cup holders, dust and

pollen filter and a height-adjustable driver’s seat. There’s also green tinted glass,

range adjustable halogen clear headlights, one-touch indicators, speed-sensitive

power-assisted steering and a radio/CD player with four speakers. Not to mention

vanity mirrors and an electronic engine immobiliser all fitted as standard.

If you’re in need of a few more luxuries, the Urban Fox comes with all

we’ve mentioned plus remote central locking, sliding rear bench seat with

50:50 split folding backrest, front electric windows, body-coloured bumpers

and door mirrors, ‘easy entry’ front seats and manual rear vent windows.

01 The interior of the Fox with stylish ‘Stripes’ upholstery. Interior

shown features optional ‘Climatic’ semi-automatic air conditioning

and Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP).

02 The folding backrest offers f lexible storage and stowage space.

03 Practical details include two front cup holders.

04 Height-adjustable driver’s seat for better vision and improved posture.

05 Storage tray between the two rear seats helps keep things tidy and

features two useful cup holders.

06 Controls and equipment in chrome effect give a quality look.

More features doesn’t have to mean more money.

just £6,590 RRP* for the Fox, and only £7,220 RRP* for the Urban Fox. What are you waiting for? Speak to your retailer

about a test drive, or call 0800 333 666 to arrange one.

06 The optional Electronic Stabilisation

Programme (ESP) reacts to critical

situations within milliseconds.

04 A fully adjustable steering

column assures the most

comfortable driving position.

01 The optional alarm with interior

protection has a monitor that

detects movement in the car and,

if appropriate, triggers the alarm.

03 Side airbags for the driver and

front passenger are available

as an optional extra.

05 The Anti-lock Braking System

(ABS) prevents wheels from

locking when braking suddenly

and is fitted as standard.

02 Airbags for the driver and

front passenger are fitted

as standard.

It may be small, but the Fox is very big on safety – like every Volkswagen.

The Fox is built around a rigid, galvanised body that’s laser welded to ensure all

of the panels sit tightly together. The end result is a body so strong, it can absorb

impact energy and thereby protect the driver and passengers within a protective

inner cell – just in case. These features have resulted in the Fox achieving four

stars in the Euro NCAP ratings.

Small passengers are also well protected with innovative Isofix child seat

preparation in the rear, allowing approved child seats to be secured directly

to the Fox’s chassis for maximum safety. Installing and removing them is so

simple it is, quite literally, child’s play.

It goes without saying that the Fox is also fitted with both driver’s and front

passenger’s airbags as standard, as are three-point seat belts with height

adjustment in the front and front and rear head restraints. If you do need to

brake suddenly, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) will prevent the wheels

from locking, helping you to keep control of the car.

And because you can never be too careful, side airbags and front fog lights are

available as an option, along with the Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP)

which reacts to critical situations in milliseconds to adjust the engine’s power

and braking.

Big on fun, big on safety.

Model shown is Fox with optional 14" ‘Parana’ alloy wheels, manual rear vent windows and pearl effect paint.

Lack of space is certainly no reason not to buy a Fox. In fact, once you’re inside

you’ll be amazed how big our small car actually is. A clever use of space and

ergonomic design means the interior is both practical and stylish, providing

plenty of room for both driver and passengers. Thoughtful extra touches such

as an abundance of storage compartments, front cup holders, storage nets on

the back of the front seats and a height-adjustable driver’s seat with a handy

drawer beneath, all contribute to a feeling of spaciousness and comfort.

It’s more of the same in the back with the Urban Fox, where you’ll find the rear

seat backrest splits 50:50 if you need to carry extra luggage. Also, the rear bench

seat adjusts lengthways so you can transport bulkier items, or folds up completely

to give you a maximum boot space of 1,016 litres*. Hardly a small amount by

anyone’s standard.

No room for excuses.

It won’t be your finances that stop you owning a Fox.Typical 9.6% APR.

Model shown is Urban Fox with optional 14" ‘Parana’ alloy wheels and Sunshine paint.

As we’ve already said, there’s no reason stopping you from owning a Fox. Not even your finances, in fact. Volkswagen

Finance has put together a range of finance packages that make budgeting for your Fox as easy and predictable

as possible. Full details of just how affordable the Fox could be are shown in the two Solutions examples below.

Free servicing

If you purchase and register your Fox on a Solutions Personal Contract Plan between 1 January and 31 March 2008, all

your servicing for three years* will be covered too. Or you could upgrade your plan to include maintenance and/or

tyres at an additional cost.

* Three years or 30,000 miles (whichever is soonest). Terms and conditions apply. Please contact your retailer for full details.

Solutions for the private motorist

With Solutions, the Personal Contract

Plan from Volkswagen Finance, you

could choose an agreement period

between 18 and 42 months, pay a low

deposit and defer a proportion of the

vehicle’s value until the end of your

agreement – all of which could allow

you to drive the Fox you really want for

the motoring budget you have in mind.

How Solutions could work for you

• Your Fox has an agreed minimum future value – the

proportion of the vehicle’s cost that is deferred to the

end of the agreement

• You can choose an agreement period between

18 and 42 months

• Drive a new car more often thanks to shorter

replacement cycles

• Maintain your lifestyle by driving the latest Fox

• Afford a new car or a higher specification model

• Deferring the payment on a proportion of your

vehicle’s value means that your monthly payments

could be reduced to suit your budget

• Easy entry – as little as the equivalent of one monthly

payment required as a deposit

• Available for new and used Volkswagen models

• Known cash flow – fixed interest rate and payment

• Reduced term of funding and ability to defer your

decision to purchase until the end of your agreement

• Option to include a Fixed-cost Maintenance Plan

At the end of the agreement, you have

three choices:

1. Either pay the outstanding amount,

including the option-to-purchase

fee, and own your car; or

2. Return it to us and walk away

(subject to terms and conditions); or

3. Part-exchange it and begin another

Solutions agreement for a new

Volkswagen.

Protect your experience

In addition, you could benefit from one of our optional insurance

products, designed to safeguard either your Fox or your payments.

Payment Protection

This could help you to make your payments in the event of

accidental death, critical illness, disability or unemployment.

GAP Insurance (shortfall protection)

This could protect you against any shortfall left by your motor

insurance in the event of your Fox being stolen or written off

in an accident.

Finance is just one of the many Volkswagen Finance products available.

All that could get in the way of you and a Fox.

You can probably already see yourself in a Fox. After all, it couldn’t be easier to own one with the range of finance

packages to help you budget and a clear choice of engines, trim levels and accessories. The only thing that could

stop you driving one is choosing the colour and upholstery. There are eight exterior colours available, and three

different cloths for the seats, so finding the right combination may take some time.

The outside isn’t the only thing that’s compact about the Fox. For the sake of

simplicity, we’ve also purposely kept the number of engines available small. There

are just two for you to choose from – a 1.2 litre and a 1.4 litre petrol engine. Both

deliver dynamic performance, as well as exceptional fuel consumption. Around town,

for instance, the 1.2 litre develops 55 PS but still achieves 46.3 mpg*. And out on the

open road, the larger 1.4 litre 16-valve engine, which generates an impressive 75 PS,

manages 42.2 mpg*. And it won’t cost the earth to insure your Fox – with a Group 1

rating for the 1.2 litre engine and a Group 2 for the 1.4 litre.

But while the Fox may be small on your outgoings, it’s big on fun. The five speed

manual gearbox fitted to both units, along with the power-assisted steering fitted

as standard, makes the Fox easy to drive in town or on the move. The rigid body shell

also gives the Fox excellent road-holding and handling abilities.

* See the Engines section for CO2 emissions and fuel consumption figures.

There’s nothing stopping you buying a Fox. But there are two engines to get you moving.

01 Both petrol engines are available

with a five speed manual gearbox.

† Where the law permits.

Technical specification. Technical specification notes.

01) The maximum power output figures are quoted in PS (or Pferdestärke, which is the metric equivalent of horsepower). To convert from metric

to imperial horsepower, divide the PS figure by 1.0139.

02) Figures are calculated in accordance with manufacturer’s criteria. Vehicle unladen weight ranges with 90% tank capacity without driver

(75 kg). The individual unladen weight depends on the specification of the vehicle, this then reduces the possible payload accordingly.

03) With increasing altitude the engine performance diminishes. From 1,000 m above sea level and for every 1,000 m thereafter 10% of the

vehicle/trailer weight (trailer weight + gross vehicle weight) must be deducted.

04) Thanks to the knock control, unleaded four star (at least 95 RON) can be used instead of Super plus unleaded.

05) Official fuel consumption according to EU Directive 99/94. The consumption calculation according to 1999/100/EC is based on the actual

unladen weight of the vehicle. Additional specifications can lead to a higher weight class and hence to consumption figures of this higher

weight class. The driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences and vehicle condition can in practice lead to

consumption figures, which may differ from those calculated with this standard.

06) The weight of a vehicle will influence the level of CO2 emission it produces; as a result, vehicles with higher levels of specification and factory-

fitted options may emit higher levels of CO2.

The Volkswagen Warranty.

Three-year Warranty.

All Volkswagen Foxes come with a three-year/60,000

miles warranty, which protects your car against the failure

of most mechanical and electrical components due to

manufacturing defects. This comprises a two-year

manufacturer’s warranty with unlimited mileage plus

a further one-year/60,000 miles (whichever is soonest)

Retailer Warranty. Should the mileage exceed 60,000

miles within the first two years, the manufacturer’s two-

year warranty will still be valid. If an additional warranty

for subsequent years or higher mileage is desired, it may

be purchased from an authorised Volkswagen retailer

or repairer; however, this additional warranty must be

purchased before the mileage reaches 60,000*. Full

details of the three-year warranty are available from

your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer.

*All warranty work must be completed by an

authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer.
