Volkswagen PH reports 133% unit sales increase

Volkswagen Philippines, the number one European car brand in the country in 2016, recently reported a unit sales increase of 133 percent for the first half of 2017 compared to the same period last year.

The exclusive Philippine importer and distributor of the German-based automaker sold over a cumulative 566 Volkswagen vehicles to buyers from January to end-June this year, compared to the 243 units sold in the same period in 2016, further reinforcing its bid to become the number one European car brand for two consecutive years.

The more-than-double sales output of Volkswagen Philippines has been attributed to robust sales performances across its model lineup.

Volkswagen Philippines’ volume driver and its number-one selling vehicle in 2016, the Jetta, contributed substantially.

Among the world’s most successful sedans, with already 14 million units sold in its six generations, the Jetta in the Philippines is expected to create a bigger sales impact come second half of 2017, as Volkswagen Philippines has just announced that the newest versions of the Jetta, the Business Edition+ and Business Edition, are now available in all its eight dealerships nationwide.

The Jetta is dubbed as the sedan “Made for Everyday Driving” with its stylish looks, feature-packed amenities, and remarkable comfort features.

Being the only diesel model in the segment, its advanced technology and safety features reinforce the Jetta’s value-for-money proposition.

The Jetta is priced at P1.25 million for the Business Edition and P1.3 million for the Business Edition+.
