Volkswagen Canada Celebrates May Sales Record

WINNIPEG, Manitoba - June 11, 2013 - PRLog -- Auto Haus VW, a premier Winnipeg Volkswagen dealership (http://www.autohausvw.com/vehicles/modelshowroom.aspx?lng=2), has announced that Volkswagen Canada has set a company record with their year-to-date sales as well as a 5% total increase in May vehicle sales over May of 2012. 6,315 new Volkswagen automobiles were sold last month, which was 215 more vehicles than the 6,030 new Volkswagen models sold in May of last year.

A grand total of 25,731 vehicles were recorded this year for year-to-date sales, making for a 10% increase from last year’s 23,362 automobiles sold. Volkswagen Canada has officially recorded 17 consecutive months of record sales with a lineup that continues to sell well.

The 2013 Volkswagen Jetta (http://www.autohausvw.com/vehicles/2013/jetta/landingpage.aspx?lng=2) is one of the best-selling vehicles in Canada. Last month, 2,858 Jetta automobiles were sold, and year-to-date recorded Jetta sales are up 27% with a total of 12,696 sold. This is no surprise considering the new Jetta features five available engines to fit multiple driving styles for consumers throughout the country.

The 2013 Jetta’s TDI Clean Diesel engine gets an estimated 6.7L/100 km in the city and 4.6L/100 km on the highway while also providing lower emissions. The ecologically conscious turbocharged hybrid engine in the new Jetta combines a 1.4 TSI engine with a powerful electric motor to achieve a total of 170 hp and 184 lb-ft. of torque. This turbocharged hybrid is also the first hybrid equipped with a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. It uses 20% less fuel than conventional automatic transmissions for a combination of performance and fuel efficiency.

The 2013 Volkswagen Golf (http://www.autohausvw.com/vehicles/2013/golf_3-door/landi...) was the second-best selling Volkswagen last month with 1,233 total vehicles sold. Available in 3-door, 5-door, GTI, Wagon, and R models, the new Volkswagen Golf also allows for the use of a TDI clean diesel engine.

The 2013 Volkswagen Jetta starts at just $14,990 and the 2013 Volkswagen Golf 3-door starts at $19,975, which has helped both models become overwhelming popular. Both of these vehicles, as well as the rest of VW lineup, are for sale at Auto Haus Volkswagen.
