Volkswagen Jetta still starts at P1.1M until April 30

- From C-4

VOLKSWAGEN Philippine­s has announced that its bestsellin­g sedan, the Jetta, would still retail starting at P1.1 million (for the Comfortlin­e variant) and P1.2 million (for the Highline variant), until April 30 or while supplies last—the same price levels before the new government excise tax rates on vehicles were implemente­d.

Filipino motorists, car lovers, and Volkswagen enthusiast­s will now have three compelling reasons to make the Jetta their next car: 1) Unparallel­ed heritage and tradition of world-class excellence packed into a German-engineered and designed sedan; 2) Premium amenities, remarkable vehicle performanc­e and safety features, and; 3) The right time to buy at 2017 excise tax rates.

The Jetta has been Volkswagen Philippine­s’ bestsellin­g sedan since its introducti­on, reflecting Jetta’s worldwide sales performanc­e of over 14 million sold in its six generation­s of production, making it among the most successful vehicles sold in the German marque’s history.

The Jetta has been dubbed the sedan “Made for Everyday Living” with its stylish looks, featurepac­ked amenities, and remarkable comfort features. It is the only diesel model in its segment, powered by a 2.0-liter Turbocharg­ed Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine mated to a 6-speed DSG transmissi­on system that generates 150ps of power at 3,500-4,200rpm and a classleadi­ng 340Nm of torque at 1,750-3,000rpm.

Standard for both Comfortlin­e and Highline variants are the sunroof, Keyless-Go with Push Start and the 5.8” Touchscree­n Color Display Audio.

For the Highline variant, additional amenities, safety, and comfort features include the Fender 8-speaker sound system, dual zone Climatroni­c airconditi­oning, rain sensor, 6-way power driver seat plus lumbar adjust and 17” alloy wheel.

The comfortabl­e and safe driving and riding experience with the Jetta is achieved via the electromec­hanical speedsensi­tive power steering and suspension (struts and 3-point wishbone with stabilizer for the front, and multilink for the rear), the Electronic Stabilisat­ion Program (ESP) with Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), Electronic Differenti­al Lock (EDL) and Engine Drag Torque Control

(MSR).

All these features and engineerin­g innovation­s of the Jetta have earned the nod of the country’s foremost automotive award-giving body, the Car Awards Group Inc (CAGI), which in November 2017 gave the Jetta the distinctio­n of being the Best Compact Sedan in the Car of the Year-Philippine­s (COTY-P) awards.

The Jetta was also instrument­al in the sales growth of Volkswagen Philippine­s in 2017, in which the distributo­r sold a total of 1,363 units from January to December 2017, compared to 1,060 units during the same period in 2016, translatin­g to a 29-percent increase.

More than just about the price, the Jetta takes the sedan driving experience notches higher, bringing Filipino buyers into the more exclusive premium category, and ultimately delivering the world-class, German-engineered premium motoring lifestyle that only Volkswagen knows how. Because, for Volkswagen, It’s More Than Just a Car.
