 2019 VW Passat

Two VW vehicles have won Vincentric’s Best Value in America awards for their respective segments.  The VW Beetle topped the compact segment while the Volkswagen Passat won the midsize segment.  These awards are based on Vincentric’s evaluation indicating which vehicles in each segment deliver the best value for the buyer.  They use a statistical analysis to evaluate the current market price along with the total cost-of-ownership to help determine value.  Some factors taken into consideration include depreciation, financing, fuel economy, maintenance costs, and insurance rates.  The Best Value award winners represent the vehicles with a lower than expected cost of ownership for their segment and price.  One of the reason Vincentric honored the Beetle was for having the lowest maintenance costs in its class which helped to lower the overall cost of ownership.  Similarly, the Passat was especially strong due to its low operating costs compared to other mid-size passenger cars.

The 2019 VW Beetle will be the last year of Beetle production.  Two Final Edition models have been added for this year.  So, this is a super time to buy your award-winning Beetle.  The Volkswagen Passat provides an award-winning blend of technology, comfort features, stylish and sophisticated design, and excellent road manners.  Both vehicles come with VW’s amazing People First Warranty which provides a 6-year or 72,000-mile (whichever comes first) bumper-to-bumper New Vehicle Limited Warranty.  This warranty offers excellent powertrain coverage and can be transferred if the vehicle is sold.
