Auto Haus Volkswagen Celebrates as Sales Skyrocket for Volkswagen Canada in 2013

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar. 8, 2013 - For Volkswagen Canada, 2012 was indeed the year of momentum, as anticipation built in regards to the debut of the new 2013 models. This same momentum has spilled over into the new year, bringing with it a record start in sales. Such news encourages celebration at Auto Haus Volkswagen, Winnipeg’s premier Volkswagen dealership. Serving the Winnipeg community and its neighbors for over 35 years now, Auto Haus Volkswagen has earned recognition for both their service and selection of models.

Sales of new cars and light trucks hit 3,373 for the month of January, over the 2012 January numbers of 3,109. That shows an 8.5% increase for Volkswagen and in turn sets a best-ever sales record for the month as well as a record start for the year. Already holding the status of a market leader in fuel saving technologies with the TDI Clean Diesel engine, Volkswagen Canada is expected to continue sales momentum due to the recent release of a turbocharged hybrid engine for the Jetta lineup as well as the debut of the newly redesigned 2013 Beetle Convertible that began arriving at the 136 Volkswagen dealerships across Canada in February.

The Jetta Turbocharged Hybrid (http://www.autohausvw.com/vehicles/2013/jetta_turbo_hybri...) arrives with a price tag beginning at $27,875 and offers an EPA estimated 4.5L/100km city fuel consumption.
