Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) today officially introduced the all-new Touareg R-Line to the Malaysian market. The locally assembled flagship SUV comes with the recommended retail price of RM469,990, inclusive of the Volkswagen Assurance Package (VAP).

The Touareg, now in its third generation, is Volkswagen’s first SUV when it made its global preview in 2002. Over 1.14 million units have been sold worldwide, and till today remains a popular model at the top of Volkswagen’s SUV range.

LED strip for the taillight clusters. The rear Volkswagen logo is now illuminated in red, a first as this was previously only available in markets such as China and the US.

The R-Line trims combine stylish elegance with sporty dynamism, and includes 20-inch Braga alloy wheels, enhanced chrome detailing, and the ‘R’ insignia at the doors and emblazoned on the front grille.

The Touareg redefines lighting technology with the new IQ LIGHT HD MATRIX headlights, one of the best lighting systems in the world. This highly intelligent lighting system of more than 38,000 interactive micro-LEDs illuminates the road more precisely than ever before. Furthermore, entry and exit puddle lighting illuminates the ground by the doors with the Volkswagen logo.

Also included is Night Vision – a first for a Volkswagen here in Malaysia – which provides the driver with a better view of the road at night. The system uses an infrared sensor in the camera to detect thermal signatures from humans or animals up to 130 metres ahead to keep the driver aware of potential collision.

Riding on the Volkswagen Group’s MLB Evo platform, the appointments in the spacious 5-seater cabin reflects the premium position of the Touareg.

The highlight is the Innovision Cockpit – an intuitive combination of digital display panels merged to form a ‘one-screen design’. These consist of the 12.3-inch Digital Cockpit in front of the driver and the 15-inch touchscreen of the Discover Pro Max infotainment system with Wireless App-Connect and wireless charging.

An immersive “concert hall” experience is provided with the 730W Dynaudio Consequence sound system powered by an 80W amplifier. The system has 13 speakers strategically situated around the cabin with one sub-woofer located in the boot floor as well.

The 4-zone climate control (exclusive to the Touareg) will provide customisable, cool environment for front and rear passengers throughout the cabin. Rear passengers can also tailor the temperature, blower intensity and direction of the air to their preference. Active Climate Seats provide added comfort to front passenger and driver, especially during hot weather.

Air suspension with Automatic Self-Levelling is standard and provides highest level of driving comfort. It automatically adapts the vehicle height to match terrain conditions and can lower the ride height by 40 mm for easier loading or unloading of cargo. Wading level is an impressive 550mm.

Besides the Night Vision mentioned earlier, the Touareg is also supported by IQ.DRIVE, Volkswagen’s advanced safety technology which provides intelligent support to the driver to enhance motoring safety.

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) telah mengeluarkan notis penarikan balik (recall) bagi model-model tertentu yang dikeluarkan antara tahun 2010 hingga 2014. Program recall ini melibatkan sebanyak 6,671 kenderaan.

Model-model yang perlu diperiksa termasuk Golf GTI generasi ke-enam, Eos, Passat CC, Polo, Beetle, dan Vento. Fokus recall ini melibatkan kenderaan yang dilengkapi dengan airbag hadapan.

Masalah ini berkaitan dengan propelan penjana airbag. Kerosakan ini dipercayai disebabkan oleh pendedahan yang berpanjangan kepada kelembapan tinggi dan fluktuasi suhu.

Sebagai tindak balas terhadap isu ini, VPCM berkata yang ia sedang bekerjasama dengan pengedar untuk memastikan spare part tersedia untuk memudahkan proses recall. Penarikan balik (recall) akan dilaksanakan secara berperingkat di tahap kebangsaan untuk menguruskan jumlah kes yang terlibat.

Pemilik kenderaan yang dikenal pasti akan menerima notis melalui e-mel dan WhatsApp, dengan menggunakan maklumat dari pangkalan data Volkswagen.

Bagi mereka yang membeli kenderaan dari pemilik sebelumnya atau peniaga kereta terpakai, disyorkan untuk menghubungi pengedar Volkswagen yang terdekat untuk pengesahan.

Jika penggantian bahagian diperlukan, VPCM menjamin bahawa semua penggantian yang diperlukan untuk perkhidmatan tersebut akan disediakan tanpa sebarang kos.

Untuk memeriksa sama ada kenderaan mereka tertakluk kepada arahan penarikan balik, pemilik boleh melawat laman web penarikan balik yang khusus (https://www.volkswagen.com.my/volkswagen-service/repair-and-service/service-action) dan memasukkan nombor VIN 17-digit mereka, yang terletak di bahagian kiri bawah cermin hadapan kenderaan.

VPCM berkata yang syarikat itu berkomitmen untuk memberikan keutamaan kepada keselamatan pelanggan dan menggalakkan tindakan segera dari semua pemilik kenderaan yang terkesan untuk memastikan penyelesaian yang cepat dan berkesan kepada arahan recall ini.

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has issued a recall for certain models manufactured between 2010 and 2014, affecting a total of 6,671 vehicles.

The models subject to inspection include the sixth generation Golf GTI, Eos, Passat CC, Polo, Beetle, and Vento. The focus of the recall is on vehicles equipped with a specific driver front airbag gas generator housing.

The concern revolves around the degradation of the front driver airbag housing generator’s propellant. This deterioration is attributed to prolonged exposure to high humidity and temperature fluctuations. The potential consequence is an increased risk of injury to both the driver and passengers.

In response to this issue, VPCM has collaborated with its dealer partners to ensure the availability of necessary parts and to facilitate a smooth and efficient recall process. The nationwide recall will be executed in phases to effectively manage the number of affected cases.

Owners of the identified vehicles will receive notifications through email and WhatsApp, utilizing information from the Volkswagen database. For those who acquired their vehicles from previous owners or used car dealerships, an urgent recommendation is made to contact the nearest Volkswagen authorized dealer for verification.

In the event that parts replacement is required, VPCM assures owners that all labor and replacement parts necessary for the service will be provided at no cost. To check whether their vehicle is subject to the recall, owners can visit the dedicated recall webpage (https://www.volkswagen.com.my/volkswagen-service/repair-and-service/service-action) and enter their 17-digit VIN number, located at the bottom left of the vehicle’s windscreen.

VPCM is committed to prioritizing the safety of its customers and encourages prompt action from all affected vehicle owners to ensure a swift and effective resolution to this recall.

The Volkswagen Golf R represents the most potent of the Golf range. Offering the brand’s sportiest and most emotionally stirring driving experience, and perhaps motivating generations of hatchback aficionados as well as other car makers to follow suite.

The R32, which was introduced more than 20 years ago and had a 3.2-litre naturally aspirated version of Volkswagen’s distinctive VR6 engine, is where the Golf R’s genealogy begins. Additionally, the R32 was also the first Volkswagen to come with a dual-clutch gearbox. The R torch was later carried on by the Mk 6 and the Mk 7.

When buying a new car, many people will try to get the lowest price possible and press for a good discount. This is only natural as they can then take a smaller loan and the instalments will be less each month.

But there are often other offers which carry a certain value or save money as well. For instance, free maintenance is a popular extra which is offered by most companies these days. This usually covers the labour and parts costs for scheduled maintenance over years. It is a cost which you will incur in coming years of ownership of the car, so if you do not have to pay it, then you will be saving money in the longer term.

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has been offering free scheduled maintenance for its models for the first 3 years and now, it is adding on 2 more years for selected models. Those who buy the Arteon R-Line, Tiguan Allspace R-Line or Elegance will now save on maintenance costs for up to 5 years (or maximum of 75,000 kms) after they buy their car.
