Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Volkswagen Passenger Vehicles are responding to Australia's cost of living pressures by delivering unprecedented ownership value to owners of both new and pre-owned vehicles.
All new Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles purchased before June 30, 2022, can choose to benefit from a dramatic decrease in the cost of five-year servicing thanks to an exclusive 5 year Care Plan for the price of a 3 year Care Plan offer.
Available on new Caddy, Transporter, Multivan, Caravalle, Crafter and Amarok models, the offer provides two years of free servicing over the first five years.
Under the offer, five-year servicing costs are:
- Caddy, $1,500 (saving $1,448)
- Transporter or Multivan, $1,600 (saving $1,739)
- Caravelle, $1,450 (saving $1,539)
- Crafter, $1,750 (saving $1,621)
- Amarok 4cyl/V6, $1,900/$2050 (saving $1,761/$1,825)
In most cases the savings are as large, or larger, than the cost outlay. For a Caddy it works out to be just $300 for each service across the first five years.
In the Volkswagen Passenger Vehicles range, T-Cross variants – Life and Style – receive a complimentary 3 Year Care Plan when newly purchased and financed with Volkswagen Financial Services before June 30, 2022.
Golf 1.4TSI variants – Golf Life and Golf R-Line – gain the same offer if newly purchased and financed before September 30, 2022.
New Arteon and Arteon Shooting Brake variants including the 140TSI Elegance and 206TSI R-Line, and Touareg variants – 170TDI, 210TDI Elegance and 210TDI R-Line – receive a complimentary 5 Year Care Plan when newly purchased and financed with Volkswagen Financial Services before June 30, 2022.
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Volkswagen Passenger Vehicles have together gone even a step further with a pre-owned servicing offer.
Available for the first 500 (CV) or 1,000 (PV) customers before April 30, 2022, all Volkswagens older than four years old can benefit from a 2 Essentials Services Free when you purchase a 4 year 4Plus Care Plan offer.
With this unprecedented offer, half of the servicing costs are free once a Volkswagen is beyond four years old or has travelled greater than 60,000kms and due for its 4th service.
Under the offer, four-year servicing costs are:
- Caddy MY16 2.0 TDI320, $921 (saving $602.28 compared with the total RRP of four services).
- Transporter MY16 TDI 400, $1,074 (saving $744.52)
- Amarok MY16 plan costs $1,039 (saving $709.12)
Owners of a new Volkswagen commercial vehicle could benefit from both offers right now – purchasing a 5 year Care Plan for the price of a 3 year Care Plan offer in concert with a 2 Essentials Services Free when you purchase a 4 year 4Plus Care Plan offer, essentially taking care of nine years of servicing.
Volkswagen Passenger Vehicles provides incredibly low servicing for pre-owned vehicles four years or older, thanks to the 2 Essentials Services Free when you purchase a 4 year 4Plus Care Plan offer.
Under the offer, four-year servicing costs are:
- Golf MY16 Highline 1.4TSI, $852 (saving $596.92 compared with the total RRP of four services)
- Tiguan MY16 Highline 1.4TSI, $843 (saving $592.72)
The Golf works out to be just $213 per service, a Tiguan $210.75.
Brand Director of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Ryan Davies said these servicing offers "once again demonstrates that cut-price servicing and driving a cut-above European vehicle are not mutually exclusive."
"Our commercial vehicle owners have been among the hardest hit with rising fuel prices, while customers of new vehicles have been incredibly patient while we work through some supply constraints – this is our way of helping."
Brand Director of Volkswagen Passenger Vehicles Michal Szaniecki said that new and pre-owned vehicle servicing offers "ensure that we are thinking of Volkswagen customers now, and after purchasing a vehicle several years ago."
"To offer the owner of a four-plus-year-old Golf or Tiguan the next four years of servicing from under $250 per service is another demonstration of how cost efficient it can be to own a Volkswagen."
The 4yr 4Plus Care Plans include 2 x Essential Service and 2 x Essential Service Plus. The Essential Service includes Genuine Volkswagen Oil and Filter replacement and Volkswagen's Safety and Diagnostic Check. The Essential Service Plus further includes Pollen filter replacement and Brake fluid replacement.
For all offers, customers can pay up-front or manage the servicing cost as part of their finance for maximum flexibility.
