Volkswagen offers new six-year warranty

New Volkswagen Warranty on many 2018 models 

Buying a new car is a big decision. There are a lot of factors to consider, like what type of car you want, and what features you want your vehicle to have. Many of the 2018 Volkswagen vehicles will now include a feature that you might not be thinking of when you look for a new car. Almost all of the 2018 Volkswagen models will have a new extended warranty.  

What is the People First Warranty? 

The new warranty was first introduced on the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas and Tiguan and has since been extended to include the 2018 VW Beetle, Golf, Jetta, and Passat. Called the People First Warranty, it guarantees that your 2018 Volkswagen has bumper to bumper coverage for six years or 72,000 miles, whichever comes first.   

This warranty is transferable, so if you decide to upgrade to a newer model before the end of six years, or before reaching 72,000 miles, the next owner will still get the benefits. With the People First Warranty, you’ll have more than double the coverage of most American brands.

2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI has a new warrantyWhich Volkswagen vehicles are covered? 

No matter which 2018 Volkswagen model you choose, you’ll be covered by the People First Warranty. It is included with the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan, Atlas, Jetta and Passat. If you’re looking at the Volkswagen Beetle or the VW Golf, you might be wondering if the variations of those vehicles are covered. Both the 2018 Volkswagen Beetle and the Volkswagen Beetle convertible are covered.  

If you choose the 2018 Volkswagen Golf, or the Golf GTI, Golf R, Golf SportWagon, or Golf Alltrack, you’ll also receive the People First Warranty. Of the new 2018 vehicles, the only variety left without the six year/72,000 mile warranty is the 2018 VW e-Golf, which has a 3-year or 36,000-mile New Vehicle Limited warranty, and an 8-year, 100,000-mile High Voltage Limited System warranty for the battery.  

No matter which 2018 Volkswagen vehicle you are considering, it is covered by the longest bumper to bumper transferable warranty among the major American brands.
