Current VW line-up brings sustainable mobility options for Pinoy car lovers

Published December 4, 2013 3:33pm

Volkswagen puts the Philippines top-of-mind while engineering its most recent lineup with the introduction of its initial array of turbo-powered SUVs and MPV for the local market.

As the globally well-received emblem sails back to our shores, Volkswagen is introducing new measures that will win the hearts of car enthusiasts and discerning consumers as well with the technological innovations featured in their cars.

Bannering the initial line-up are the torque-y TDI engines. The Turbo Direct Injection (TDI) engines are engineering innovations, which work towards maximizing power while limiting fuel consumption. To further squeeze power from every drop of fuel, diesel powered TDI engines are coupled with turbochargers, making Volkswagen cars capable of high pulling power at low rpm.

Apart from the turbo-charging technology, Volkswagen leads the way with other technological advancements such as:

Electronic stabilization program which help manage the car's stability during critical driving situations.

Dual clutch gearbox (DCG), which consists of two independent gearbox units controlled through a mechatronics module, allow drivers the ease of a conventional automatic transmission with the power of manual transmission on normal or sports mode.

Intelligent adaptive chassis control (DCC) function in the Touareg offers drivers different programs to suit their needs – "sport," "normal" or "comfort" mode.

"The Volkswagen vehicles that we are offering are everything Filipino drivers are looking for: high pulling power, fuel efficient, and environment friendly,” says JP Orbeta, president of Automobile Central Enterprise, Inc., official importer of Volkswagen.

“But don't just take my word for it, try it out for yourselves. Visit our showroom, request for a test drive, and take these machine marvels for a spin," Orbeta adds.

The Volkswagen BGC showroom is located at 28th Street, City Center, Bonifacio Global City. Showroom hours are from Monday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday 9a.m. to 6 p.m.
