It's Easy Being Green: The Best Ogre-Hued Cars To Celebrate Shrek The Musical
As proud sponsors of Newcastle Theatre Royal, we were so excited when we heard Shrek The Musical was coming to the stage, courtesy of the Newcastle Musical Theatre Company.
To celebrate our favourite ogre, we’ve scoured the 7000+ used cars we have in stock to find our top five green cars.
From sporty saloons to practical hatchbacks, there’s a stunning green car fit for every creature in the land. With each one sitting in one of our 200+ nationwide dealerships, the perfect car is never too Far Far Away...
Land Rover Defender in Grasmere Green
More of a mint green than the man himself, but just as impressive. This Defender at our Land Rover Bolton dealership is ready to take you on any journey, whether you’re questing to the castle to save the princess or just nipping to the shops.
Panoromic roof, leather seats, keyless entry–this is one seriously cool car.
Ford Puma ST in Mean Green
This Ford Puma in the aptly named Mean Green is located at Vertu Ford Durham, just 30 minutes from the theatre itself. So if a night at the musical leaves you wanting to try out your own green machine, it’s just a quick trip down the A1.
Sleek, sporty, and with only 11,332 miles on the clock, you’ll have to act fast to snap up this hatchback.
MINI Hatchback in British Racing Green
We couldn’t not include this classic British car in the equally classic British colour. As a compact hatchback, we doubt Shrek could fit in this mini (literally) car, but it's the perfect ride for those wanting something nippy that doesn’t compromise on features.
Heated seats, parking sensors, keyless entry – all approved by MINI. This car is a joy to drive.
Renault 5 in Pop Green
We’re obsessed with the bold design of the funky new all-electric Renault 5 E-Tech. With zero tailpipe emissions, it’s as eco-friendly as it is striking.
Just as Shrek twists old fairytales for a new era, the Renault 5 delivers its retro chic design with some seriously modern tech.
Low mileage, quick charge time, and an impressive 252 max range – this car is ideal for city adventures.
Peugeot 308 in Olivine Green
Our fairytale friends have walked more miles than this ex-demo Peugeot 308, which has only 10 miles on the clock.
It's a great opportunity to snap up this barely used all-electric hatchback in the stunning Olivine Green. The Peugeot 308 gets 0-80% charge in just 30 minutes, making it the perfect, reliable companion for your busy lifestyle.
