Volkswagen the latest car maker to apply five year warranty

THE pressure builds on Toyota to extended its guarantee as Volkswagen joins a growing list of brands giving customers better peace of mind.

NEW car warranties are the latest battleground in the car sales war and Volkswagen is the latest maker to add a permanent five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty to its arsenal.

The extended guarantee, which will be applied to all new vehicles from January 1, 2019, follows a trial period that has run since October and ends on December 31 this year.

Volkswagen Australia’s customer experience chief Jason Bradshaw said the move to a more comprehensive warranty period was due to extensive customer feedback.

“Each year more than 80,000 customers provide us feedback on Volkswagen products and the dealership experience,” says Bradshaw.
