Volkswagen offers the Lavida with the Volkswagen Service Advantage which includes a one-year or 10,000km PMS, three years or 100,000km warranty, and a one-year 24/7 emergency roadside assistance for free.

These dressed-up Lavidas had upgraded body kits including “Club Edition” decals with sporty 18-inch rims for the Club Edition and a touchscreen audio package with a Kicker speaker system for the upscaled “+” Edition.
