Volkswagen T-Cross with Stara Tiongco

When Volkswagen Philippines launched the T-Cross in the country in 2021, high-school teacher Stara Mae Tiongco was already set to get the model in Syringa Violet body color.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What body color did Stara Mae Tiongco have for her T-Cross?

    Tiongco got her Volkswagen T-Cross in Syringa Violet body color.
  • How big is the T-Cross' hauling capacity?

    The Volkswagen T-Cross can carry up to 1,319 liters.
  • However, it was not the lively and unique hue alone that made her consider the vehicle. According to Tiongco, it was brand reputation and vehicle reliability that made her pick a Volkswagen for her first vehicle purchase.

    “When [my mother> was young, Volkswagen was already an elite brand and had built up a reputation for craftsmanship, precision, engineering and durability. Plus, she’s forever a fan of ‘The Love Bug’ movie where the cute and sturdy Beetle is the star,” Tiongco shared.

    Now, Tiongco proudly drives her Syringa Violet T-Cross while enjoying the summer breeze and warm sunlight with windows down and the panoramic sunroof drawn. “I always get good vibes whenever I’m at the steering wheel,” she described.

    Apart from the interesting paint option, the educator noted that it was also the trendy interiors that reinforced her love for the vehicle. The playful interior colors match the exterior hue that is complemented by the leather and fabric trims.  

    Further, the Volkswagen T-Cross helps Tiongco in carrying and transporting her teaching paraphernalia as the luggage compartment expands from 329 liters to 1,319 liters when the rear seats are folded.

    In addition, the Volkswagen T-Cross comes with a 9.2-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple Carplay connectivity that lets her enjoy high-quality digital surround sound projection. “This completely makes my day whenever I listen to my favorite tracks,” Tiongco added.

    Moreover, Tiongco said that she feels secure every time she drives her crossover, thanks to the various safety technologies that it comes with. To note, her vehicle is equipped with electronic stabilization program, hill hold control, anti-slip regulation, rear parking distance control, and rear camera.  

    “I feel safe in this car because it has plenty of safety features. Also, I’m assured that when I traverse flooded roads, I won’t get stranded because of its high ground clearance,” Tiongco added.

    Just like every brand-new Volkswagen vehicle, the T-Cross is covered with a comprehensive aftersales package that includes once-a-year periodic maintenance services that reduces cost of ownership by 20 percent versus its competitors; 100,000 kilometers or three-year warranty coverage program (whichever comes first), three-month stock on parts, enhancements in service quality via Express Service, and free 24/7 emergency roadside assistance. “Buying this was not only a smart choice for my lifestyle, but also for our wallet,” she said.
