When Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) launched the Golf R-Line, Golf GTI and Golf R on Feb 16, only the R-Line's price was pending government approval.
Indicative pricing then was RM155,000 to RM165,000.
The all-new model retains the timeless Golf design but is sportier and more expressive thanks to the R-Line styling.
Designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind, the C-signature front bumper sits lower to the ground for a more responsive performance.
Its sporty appearance is completed with 17” Valencia alloy wheels and a pair of chrome-effect trapezoid faux exhaust tailpipe.
Under the hood of the R-line lies a 1.4TSI turbocharged engine that is paired with 8-speed automatic shift by wire transmission, producing 150PS and 250Nm of torque.
The R-Line is equipped with enhanced digitalisation for seamless connectivity and convenience.
It is equipped with intelligent voice control system, activated by saying “Hello Volkswagen” or by pressing the voice button on the steering wheel. It reacts to voice commands such as “I’m cold” and it will increase the temperature accordingly.
VPCM offers three years free maintenance, five years unlimited mileage warranty, and five years roadside assistance.
With the exception of the Golf R, the other two variants are locally assembled.
