Volkswagen has today announced it will include a complimentary five-year service plan on all MY22 Touareg large SUVs it sells in Australia before December 31.
The German automaker told Chasing Cars that there are over 1000 Touaregs currently on their way to Australia, with the vast majority of these cars eligible for a free service plan.
Volkswagen occasionally offers its ‘Care Plan’ servicing packages as a sweetener on new cars – and in the case of the Touareg, which shares its platform with the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne – it represents a significant discount.
The Volkswagen Touareg will have complimentary servicing if purchased before December 31
The plan is a complimentary five-year/75,000km service pack that is valued at $3600.
Also available with complimentary servicing are MY22 examples of the Volkswagen Arteon sedan and wagon until the end of 2022.
“We’re looking after our large-car customers,” said Volkswagen Australia public relations manager Daniel DeGasperi when quizzed on the motivation for the offer.
