Low Maintenance, Easy Ownership Make the Volkswagen Santana the New Go-To Company Car


Companies are now turning to the Volkswagen’s Santana MT for their fleet accounts. At P 686,000, it’s not just affordable, but because it’s 100 percent German quality, it offers a low cost of maintenance.

This year, home retail giant CW Home Depot acquired nine Santanas to grow its VW fleet to 17. What inspired CW Home Depot to expand their Santana MT fleet is the once a year or every 10,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, periodic maintenance service (PMS) interval schedule—a truly convenient offer allowing them to focus on driving their business forward. The longer interval gives them more time to roll their Santana fleet on the road without any worry.

Staying true to providing a trouble-free ownership, Volkswagen Philippines also offers an unrivaled warranty coverage, giving a three-year paint and main steel body structure warranty on top of the comprehensive three years or 100,000-km warranty on every Santana sold. This comprehensive warranty package made MAN Automotive Concessionaires Corporation (MACC), the company that distributes MAN trucks and buses in the Philippines, join the list last year and introduced Santana MT to its growing company fleet. MACC is also impressed with the Santana’s standard safety features that include dual SRS airbags, and ABS with EBD.

On the road, VW Santana MT’s 1.4-liter MultiPoint Injection (MPI) four-cylinder engine allows smooth driving around the Metro while ensuring excellent fuel economy with its five-speed manual transmission—a huge plus for premier car-rental company Diamond Rent-a-Car (DRAC), which acquired 11 units following Santana’s arrival in May 2018, to provide their customers a smooth and reliable ride. Santana also offers the comfort Volkswagens are known more with its cozy seats and roomy interior.



With a starting price of only P 686,000, Santana MT provides the classic and luxurious German craftsmanship that truly make it a Volkswagen. Moreover, it offers a painless ownership experience without costing a fortune—and this offers you and your company new ways to save.

Review: 2020 Volkswagen Santana GTS 180 MPI SE Blaupunkt


I don’t want to admit it, but it’s clear: Volkswagen’s fumbling in the Philippine market. Most dare not say this out of fear of losing ad revenue, but I would be doing you, my dear reader, a great disservice if I didn’t say otherwise. If you want proof to see how far they’ve gone down, there’s no clearer sign than this: the Santana GTS. It’s a million-plus-peso hatchback/wagon that, frankly, shouldn’t exist.

Review: 2018 Volkswagen Santana 1.4 MPI Trendline MT


Six hundred eighty six thousand pesos doesn’t get you much car these days. A second-hand car is possible, but for those who want something new, the choices are limited. You can’t even get an entry-level Kia Rio or Hyundai Accent at those prices, much less something like a Honda City; only the bottom-rung Nissan Almera and Toyota Vios are available, and goodness, they’re pretty much penalty boxes with wheels. But, lo and behold, there’s one new entry that’s pretty much shaken the sub-compact genre and it comes from an unlikely source: Volkswagen. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the 2018 Volkswagen Santana.

Review: Volkswagen Santana 180 MPI AT SE Blaupunkt


One word to describe the Volkwagen Santana would be “basic.” Before anyone objects or throws color into that statement, let me clarify that basic does not necessarily mean boring; at least, not in this case. Setting aside any comparisons to Volkswagen’s iconic models, i.e. the Beetle, Jetta, or Golf, the Santana was made for the practical driver—functionality first, stand-out looks second. In addition, the performance does not disappoint and can comfortably take you from point A to point B. After a whole week of bonding with the Santana, I believe this car should be on your list if you’re on the market for either your first car purchase or a secondary addition to your family’s garage.

We Think We Know the 2 SUVs Volkswagen Philippines is Bringing In This Year


Ayala, it seems, likes to play guessing games. Earlier this year, it was all about guessing which three (well, now four) vehicles that Kia’s unboxing in 2019. Then, there’s the daily routine of figuring out the best time to flush the toilet and do the laundry (thanks Manila Water). And now, the game has extended to which two Volkswagen SUVs they’re bringing in.
