Volkswagen Philippines recently turned over nine Santana sub-compact sedans to CW Home Depot. This recent acquisition by the pioneering home construction and renovation store brings the total number of Volkswagen vehicles in its fleet to 17. In 2017, CW Home Depot got four VW Jetta sedans in its executives’ use, and in 2018 got four VW Santana sedans for its managers. The nine new Santanas will be given to its top sales achievers.

The Volkswagen Santana has been considered the ideal vehicle for CW Home Depot’s managers and sales achievers, as the sedan offers German engineering, design, styling, safety, power and fuel efficiency to give the best possible motoring lifestyle experience in the driver or owner’s very first Volkswagen. As the heritage of the iconic Polo has now been passed to the Santana, the Santana becomes the ideal sub-compact sedan for young families and young professionals on their way to the top.
