VOLKSWAGEN Philippines reported a unit sales increase of 133 percent for the first half of 2017 compared to the same period last year.

The exclusive Philippine importer and distributor of the German-based automaker sold over a cumulative 566 Volkswagen vehicles to buyers from January to June this year, compared to the 243 units sold in the same period in 2016, further reinforcing its bid to become the number one European car brand for two consecutive years.

The more-than-double sales output has been attributed to robust sales performances across its model lineup. (PR)
