VW QA holds Golf GTI weekend showcase
VOLKSWAGEN Quezon Avenue hosted a Saturday afternoon gathering highlighting one of the German marque’s most iconic cars, the Golf GTI.
The get-together of media, customers, and would-be owners of the Golf GTI was held last September 30 at the showroom of Volkswagen Quezon Avenue.
The occasion also marked the opening of Volkswagen Quezon Avenue’s Golf GTI Lifestyle Center, a first of its kind among Volkswagen dealerships in the Philippines.
Guests were treated to video presentations, product highlight talks, test drives, and showcases of what is widely acknowledged as the original “hot hatch,” the Golf GTI, which for this occasion, was showcased with the ABT Body KIT and Power-Up Module.
The ABT Body Kit and Power-Up Module are imported directly from Germany, and developed by ABT Sportsline, the world’s largest tuner for 120 years and which has been Volkswagen’s exclusive partner.
Apart from displaying various Golf GTI units, the Golf GTI Lifestyle Center also highlighted model-specific accessories and lifestyle collection items such as shirts, jackets, toy cars, cups and mugs, bags, among others, which are for sale at special prices.
Prospective customers also found the financing deals hard to resist, as BPI Family Savings Bank offered the 0-percent interest, 20-percent down payment at 12 months for purchases or reservations made during the occasion, or the option of getting the ABT Power-Up Module for free. These offers, were indeed, timely, especially with the impending imposition of the government excise tax come 2018.
The test drives provided guests a taste of the “ultimate sportsman” driving experience, and a feel of the Golf GTI’s 2.0-liter turbocharged stratified injection (TSI) engine mated to a six-speed dual-shift gearbox (DSG), generating 220ps and 350Nm. The Golf GTI with ABT Power-Up Module goes for an even more exhilarating 32-percent increase in power and 20-percent increase in torque (290ps and 420Nm, respectively).
This special event organized by Volkswagen Quezon Avenue, in cooperation with Volkswagen Philippines, is among the many customer-centric events by the country’s leading European car brand to extend its world-class motoring lifestyle even closer to more Filipinos’ doorsteps. It’s more than just a weekend reacquaintance with the Golf GTI. For Volkswagen, It’s More Than Just a Car.
