Beaten by T-Cross ‘love bug’

For Stara Mae Tiongco, a high school teacher in Cagayan de Oro City, had her eyes already set on the Volkswagen T-Cross syringa violet as her first vehicle purchase. 

“When [my mother] was young, Volkswagen was already an elite brand and had built up a reputation for craftsmanship, precision, engineering and durability. Plus, she’s forever a fan of ‘The Love Bug’ movie where the cute and sturdy Beetle is the star,” she said.

The most interesting thing she enjoys with her T-Cross are its trendy interiors. On top of that, transporting teaching materials from one location to the next is a breeze for Stara with the T-Cross’ ample cabin space of 329 liters of luggage compartment expanding up to 1,319 liters with folded rear seat bench.  The T-Cross’ large 9.2-inch infotainment system with Wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity lets her enjoy high-quality digital surround sound projection. 

With various safety features such as Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), Hill Hold Control, Anti-Slip Regulation, Rear Parking Distance Control, and the rear camera, Stara stays continuously safe and in control of her drive regardless of the driving condition. 

With Volkswagen’s aftersales campaign “Keep your Volkswagen running like a Volkswagen,” the T-Cross is covered with delightful aftersales services on all fronts. This includes once a year periodic maintenance services (PMS) leading to 20% less cost of ownership compared to its competitors. This is on top of 100,000 kms or 3-year warranty coverage program (whichever comes first), 3-month stock on parts, enhancements in service quality via Express Service, and free 24/7 Emergency Roadside Assistance (ERA). “Buying this was not only a smart choice for my lifestyle, but also for our wallet.” Stara stresses.
