Volkswagen Argentina He published his May price list this afternoon. The German brand increased its values an average of 1.5%although that rise must be taken as a reference against the third list published in April.
To understand the situation of the German brand you have to go back last month, when Volkswagen He established a curious record: he published a price list at the beginning of April, a second after the government’s announcement that the exchange rate and a third over the end of the month were more flexible.
In the middle, the Minister of Economy, Santiago Caputoput pressure on the German terminal: “Volkswagen Retrorajo the 3 percent rise that had arranged post departure from the stocks. In this way, no automotive raised prices. As always, competition favors consumers”. It was just before VW published its third April price list, where you gave up the post-ancious increases on the stocks.
Last week, Caputo also pressed another automaker in the face of rumors of price increases in May. Said about the versions of increases of 3.5% within the Stellantis group: “If it were true, it would be a change in the relationship of trust built with this industry. And if that trust is broken, which cost so much to build, we will use our tools to defend consumers.”
From that moment on, the waters were divided into the Argentine automotive market: Toyota (See note) and Volkswagen They applied slight increases. Ford (See note) and Nissan (See note) maintained the April values.
That is to say: today VW prices are 1.5% more expensive than at the end of April, but a little cheaper than in the middle of last month. The evolution of Volkswagen Argentina’s price tables is published here.
The most anticipated price list of the Stellantis group should be located before it ends this week.
