Volkswagen Jetta Wins AJAC Award
Published Monday, 15 November, 2010 by Fletcher Jones Volkswagen. Categories: News.
It's been a great year for Volkswagen, and two of their new models have just received prestigious awards. The 2011 Jetta has been named "Best New Family Car" under $30,000 by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). The all new VW Touareg has been named "Best new SUV/CUV" over $50,000.
Announcements were made in Niagara-on-the-Lake, where AJAC conducted their annual "test fest." This yearly event brings new cars destined for the Canadian marketplace, and allows journalists to compare them under various road and track conditions.
According to the press release, "Completely redesigned for 2011, the Jetta and Touareg are both significantly larger than the models they replace, and offer consumers a choice of various trims, and both gas and TDI Clean Diesel engines. Their combination of size and equipment make them compelling choices."
With a starting price of just $15,875, 2011's Jetta brings incredible value to the table. Standard features such as power windows and locks, ABS brakes, and Electronic Stability Control caught judges' attention. The updated Touareg, starting at $48,440, sets the standard in the luxury SUV class. An eight-speed transmission, coupled to our unique 4Motion all wheel drive system, ensures optimum road handling and traction under any conditions.
The Touareg and Jetta will be available at Volkswagen Dealers before the end of the year. Check back soon at Fletcher Jones Volkswagen - 1111 N Clark St., Chicago, IL 60610.
