The local arm of German marquee
Volkswagen announced
three additional variants for its new, recently-launched lineup
come November this year.
Volkswagen Philippines revealed that
following the introduction last May of the Santana 1.4 MPI Manual Transmission Trendline, the Lavida 230 TSI DSG Comfortline, and the Tiguan 280 TSI DSG Comfortline, it would introduce mid- to high variants of the Santana and Lamando models.
The Volkswagen dealerships will now have the
Santana 1.5 MPI AT Trendline and Comfortline,
Santana GTS 1.5 MPI AT Comfortline, and the
Lamando 280 TSI DSG Comfortline and Highline.
The Santana 1.5 MPI AT Trendline and Comfortline and the Santana GTS 1.5 MPI AT Comfortline are powered by its
1.5-liter, 4-cylinder, in-line MPI gasoline engine with
BlueMotion Technology capable of delivering
108.5 horsepower and
150 Nm of torque.
Meanwhile, the Lamando 280 TSI DSG Comfortline and Highline variants, which is propelled by the
1.4-liter, 4-cylinder, in-line TSI gasoline engine with
BlueMotion Technology--is very able to dish out around
148 horses and
250 Nm of torque.
Priced at
PHP898,000 (Trendline) and
PHP962,000 (Comfortline), the available colors for the Santana 1.5 MPI AT Trendline and Comfortline are Deep Black, Polar White, and Reflex Silver. The Santana GTS 1.5 MPI AT Comfortline, which has an introductory price of
PHP998,000, is available in Polar White, Toffee Brown, and Red Rock Metallic.
The available exterior colors for the Lamando, which has a price tag of
PHP1.569 million (Comfortline) and
PHP1.703 million (Highline), are Mangangrey, Polar White, Coriandolo (Comfortline only), Dark Bronze (Comfortline only), and Misano Red (Highline only).
Just like the first three models
launched in May, the latest offers come with comprehensive warranty coverages in line with the celebration of the
5th anniversary of Volkswagen Philippines as a member of the
Ayala Group of companies this September.
Aside from the
three years or 100,000-km general warranty (whichever comes first), they would also be offered with a
three-year warranty for paint and another
three-year warranty for through-corrosion of the main steel body structure.
The
periodic maintenance service (PMS) interval schedule for these new models is also structured for its owners' convenience. The PMS interval is
once a year, or every 10,000 kms, whichever comes first. This is more convenient and more cost-efficient compared to the industry-standard 5,000-km PMS interval.
EDITOR’S NOTE: We reported about the arrival of these very same models way back in May, shortly after Volkswagen Philippines announced the launch of its new local lineup.
