Volkswagen AG’s core VW brand raises prices in Germany by an average 0.9%.
All but two models are affected. Excluded are the new Eos cabriolet, which launches this month, and the fuel-efficient Polo BlueMotion, which arrives in showrooms in July.
VW is confident the increase will not hurt sales, noting Germany’s inflation rate in March was 1.8%.
