    Hot Car Deals, 31 March 2010

    31/03/2010 With March feeling more like mid-winter, the Which? Car test team thought they'd track down some great deals on some of our favourite 4x4s, and we haven't been disappointed. There are great deals to be done this month on the Lexus RX450h and Volvo XC60, plus we also have news of a post-scrappage discount scheme from Nissan. Save nearly £6k on Lexus RX hybrid The ultimate in guilt-free SUV motoring at present? Probably the Lexus RX 450h petrol electric hybrid, which is capable of 0-62mph in 7.8 seconds, yet it emits just 148g/km CO2 and returns 44.8mpg combined (according to official figures). It’ll cost you a bob or two to buy, however, with list prices starting at £43,165. Which is where Drive the Deal comes to the rescue. It isn’t selling anything cheaper than that, but it can do you a healthy discount on an SE-L model - two specification grades higher than entry spec. The cars are pre-registered last month, in silver paintwork with a choice of grey or black leather and on delivery mileage only. Recommended retail price for an RX 450h SE-L is £52,425 - these are £46,495 - a saving of £5,930.
