VW’s Improved “People First” 2018 Model-Year Warranty
Friday Sept. 29--Volks has a new deal: a six-year/72,000 bumper-to-bumper transferable People First Warranty. It cover’s the brands entire lineup with one exception—the e-Golf. First introduced on the 2018 Tiguan and Atlas crossovers, the expanded warranty should improve customer confidence.
VW claims its new warranty is the industry’s best overall transferable protection plan. It also means VW new-car buyers and those who opt for used ones will save on repair costs.
VW’s Diesel Damage Costs Approaches $30 billion
Volkswagen Group stated that the cost for buying back or retrofitting diesel cars North America is more expensive than expected.

2017 e-Golf SE Price: $30,495
Sept. 14--VW’s fully electric e-Golf’s base price for a vehicle with more power and range than the 2016 model is $30,495 plus $825 destination. A higher capacity lithium-ion battery boosts the EPA-estimated range from 83 miles to 125 miles on a single charge. The electric motor’s horsepower is 134, up from 115. All trim levels get onboard chargers for six-hour “fill ups” at 240-volt charging stations. A DC fast charging package is optional on the SE trim level and standard on higher trims.
