Spec-checking the Volkswagen Lamando

Spec-checking the Volkswagen Lamando

In the Philippines, Volkswagen may historically be more commonly known for its iconic models like the Beetle and Kombi, but today, the brand also offers a range of modern sedans and SUVs that are ideal for city driving.

Because of its European roots, Volkswagen may often be perceived as an expensive car brand. In fact, you can actually purchase a brand-new Volkswagen sedan for as low as P686,000.

The most expensive Volkswagen sedan that is offered in the country is the Lamando, which is priced at P1.569 million. It is packed with advanced features that make every drive smooth and convenient. It also delivers a decent performance — making it a perfect ride for the daily commute.

The Volkswagen Lamando features a minimalist style that manifests class and elegance. Its exterior is even made more stylish by the black radiator grille, LED headlights, panoramic sunroof, and 17-inch alloy wheels.

On the inside, the Lamando is equipped with posh leather seats, 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment display, and two-zone Climatronic air conditioning system. The cabin also comes with several storage compartments where you can conveniently store your items while on the road. It has a storage box on the front center armrest, an illuminated glove box with cooling function, two cup holders on the front row, front door pockets with bottle holders, seat back pockets, and overhead storage compartment. The cabin is also equipped with 12V sockets where you can charge your mobile device.

The car’s infotainment system can be linked to a smartphone through AppConnect. It also comes with eight speakers.

Convenience is assured with the Lamando’s multifunction leather steering wheel, keyless entry/exit with push start system, adaptive cruise control, electronic parking brake, parking distance control, and rear camera.

Under the Lamando’s hood is a 280 TSI engine with BlueMotion Technology. Mated to a seven-speed DSG transmission, the engine generates a maximum power output of 150ps at 5,000rpm and a maximum torque of 250Nm from 1,750 to 3,000rpm. The car has the ability to accelerate from a standstill to 100kph in 8.5 seconds.

The Lamando uses a MacPherson independent front suspension and four-link independent rear suspension to ensure better handling, performance, and ride quality.

To provide a high level of protection for every occupant, the Lamando is equipped with dual front, front side, and head curtain airbags. The front and rear seats also come with three-point seatbelts. Volkswagen also prioritizes children's safety on the road, that is why the Lamando is equipped with Isofix child seat fixings. Other safety features include electronic stabilization program (ESP), anti-lock brake system (ABS), electronic differential lock, and anti-slip regulation.

Every purchase of a Lamando comes with a three-year or 100,000-km warranty and one-year free emergency roadside assistance (ERA). Owning a Lamando is also made easy as it only requires preventive maintenance once a year.
